BIG BIG BABY...

More Boy Parts

Face Payton Giving One of His "Looks" I had my 36 week ultrasound today and we have a lot of news to share. First of all, Baby Sawyer is a very big baby, just as expected. He is measuring 8 lbs and 3 ounces...1 ounce bigger than Payton when he was born and I have 3 and a half weeks until my due date! The other news is that the previously concerning left lateral ventricle measurement of the baby's brain has totally resolved. It's no longer "borderline high" and is within the normal limits. This is great news! I am doing well, although feeling huge...And for good reason with a 36 week, 8 lb baby already! Jonathan's mom is here with me helping me out while Jonathan is in Korea and she has been a true blessing. She's great with Payton and has really stepped in to get up with him in the morning, carry him around, bath and feed him...Normal every day things that wear me out pretty quickly. Payton has really enjoyed having her around as well. She takes him on walks and buys him cookies :) Finally, the best news of all...I told Jonathan about the ultrasound and the size of the baby, etc. He talked to the Major who is in Korea with him and was told that the day they finish up the last aircraft, which is what they are working on now, he's on a plane back to HI. So it looks like he won't have to wait until the 15th as originally expected. He should be able to be home by the 12th at the latest since their deadline to finish the last helicopter is the 11th. Please pray that they are able to finish up this last aircraft without much delay and that he's able to come home as soon as possible. One week before my due date with a baby this big is a little too close for comfort for Mommy :) I hope you enjoy the update and please, please email me or leave your comments and updates! We love to read them! Love, April (Jonathan and Payton too)
