Change In Due Date

Dearest Munchkin,
Yesterday your Daddy and I went to the doctor for my mid-pregnancy anatomy scan. It turns out that I am actually more pregnant then we had anticipated! Based on this sonogram and the previous ultrasound measurements, the doctor confirmed that you are a 8 days older than we thought and officially changed your due date to October 30th, 2008. But your Daddy and I know you will arrive whenever you see fit! So I am about a week ahead of "my schedule" but I will just have to change a few things in my calender. Everything looked great on the sonogram. The technician couldn't get all the shots she wanted, so I have to repeat the scan in two weeks when you are a little bigger. You are laying sideways with your head on my left side and toes pointed to the right. You have all your hands, fingers, legs, toes, bladder, kidneys, and all the rest of you looks completely adorable. We took home some 4-D pictures of your face and you are even waving to us in a couple of the pictures. Here are some stats from the visit:
Weight= +3.3 Pounds (Total weight gain 4.5 Pounds)
Blood Pressure= 122/60
Heart Rate= 158 BPM
All in all, it was a good visit and we will get to repeat in everything two weeks. I am feeling pretty lucky to get to see you quite a few times before you are born. This afternoon, I am heading out with Emily to do your registry and your Daddy is picking up the paint for your nursery. Grandma Lumsden and I have decided on a color based on all the cool bedding and decorating she is doing. Hopefully next weekend, we will start working on your nursery. Lots of exciting things going on in the next few weeks!
I love you,
Mom
