Nathaniel News

Saw the good ol' Doc today and ...No C-section necessary!!! Woohoo! Everything looks good to go whenever Nathaniel tries to head on out. I only measured 1 cm which seemed weird because with all of the other 3 by now I was either 3 cm or had the baby. I am truly learning all children are different. Dr. Hartman anticipates it happening quickly when it does happen. So hopefully it will. I lost a pound this week. He said there is an old wives tale that says you are ready to have the baby when you lose a pound. I told him even if he made that up just for me I definitely feel ready to have the baby. The sonogram technician did the measurements and calculated Nathaniel to be only 6 lbs. and 9 oz. Not that you hear that those measurements are accurate very often but that would make him a small baby for us...like Layton. Layton (3 weeks early)- 6-5...Elijah (3 weeks early) 7-7 and Cheney (1 week early) 9-6. So maybe Nathaniel does need to cook in there a little longer.

Well, Carri-friend is coming over to watch the kids for us tonight so we can finalize our Christmas shopping. It may be a last chance to hang out just the two of us. You know how it is after the baby comes. For a while you take it everywhere you go.

Thanks for your prayers in all of this. As ready as I am for the pregnancy to be over...I still am amazed that we are going to add another human to our Evans' clan. Here is a copy of one of our sonogram pics from Tuesday. I hope you can decipher his sweet kissable lips and what looks like big pudgy cheeks. I tried to attach it here but isn't working...I'll try to post later.
