8 1/2 Months Pregnant (37.5 weeks)

Tanner: What a character! Our little boy is getting big, bIG, BIG! Our latest ultrasound shows that he is still in the 87th percentile in size and weight. He was estimated at 7lbs, 7oz last week, and may gain almost a pound per week from here on out. The ultrasound tech was also very impressed with his LONG eyelashes. From what she said, eyelashes are rarely even seen on ultrasound. Tanner was flaunting his luscious lashes for the camera, however :)
Bryce: Though no belly to contend with himself, Bryce has been losing a little sleep with thoughts of parenthood running through his mind. We have spent several nights awake together talking and getting excited about our little man. Going to birthing classes gave him the opportunity to talk to other first time dads about their thoughts and worries, which he was happy to have experienced. Bryce will be able to take about 4 weeks off of work for paternity leave :)
Cara: Check up appointment and imaging this morning shows that he is in a transverse (side-to-side) position in my belly.  Instead of worrying about the endless possibilities this means for birth, I have decided to embrace the journey and trust that the best decisions will be made when the time comes. I can hardly wait to hold Tanner is a couple short weeks...or sooner? :)
