Update on the Kids

Monday Luke and I both had doctor appointments. Luke had his two year check-up and looks great! He is 28 pounds and 34 1/2 inches. His growth is right at the 50th percentile, which is where he's been nearly every time. They asked me if he knew 7-20 words and I almost laughed. Are you kidding me?? The kid probably knows 720 words! Okay, so that may be an exaggeration but he knows waaaaaay more than 20 words! :)

Not much was new with baby girl on Monday. Her heart rate was 138. My doctor wanted me to have another ultrasound to check on her weight. So last night we headed back in for another look at her. With nearly three weeks to go she is measuring 8 pounds 4 ounces. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that. But the technician said it can be off by up to 19 ounces, so she could only be 7 lb. 1 oz. Or, if you see the glass as half empty (as I of course did) she could be as much as 9 lb. 7 oz. Needless to say, she's a big one. At my last ultrasound three weeks ago, I was measuring with a due date of August 2nd instead of the 10th but my doctor didn't change my due date at all. This time, though, I was measuring 11 days further along that I am, making her due in a week, around the 30th. I am hoping that when I go back on Monday my doctor will start discussing with me options about inducing. I cannot imagine how big this girl may get if she goes full term! Pray for wisdom for him and patience and strength for me, as I am even more anxious for her to get her sooner rather than later!!
