Ultrasound at 32 Weeks

Our little boy is growing really fast. He weighs approximately 4 lbs 10 oz, which is in the 75th percentile. If you're paying attention, that should be a surprise because he was in the 61st percentile 3.5 weeks ago.
My gestational diabetes is mostly under control, so that's good news.
The amniotic fluid level was a little too high-- I just thought it was because he's a little big, he just needs more room to swim-- but I'm not a doctor. The next ultrasound is 1 October. After that, I'll have weekly ultrasounds and non-stress tests up until delivery because of this amniotic fluid issue.
There weren't good ultrasound pictures to take home today; we have a couple pictures of a blurry profile. If you really want to see them, let us know.

Painting the nursery



We have started to paint! We decided to paint two walls smoky blue, two walls light yellow, and the ceiling light blue. All three can be seen in the picture where Tom is on the ladder. Tom wrote "Tom" and "Molly" on one of the yellow walls before painting over it. We kind of have a tradition of painting weird things on the walls before a first coat goes on. Maeby, our lazy cat can be seen in the picture, too. The other picture is of "the mama" looking tired and chubby while taping, along with the uncertain dog, Carson. Regarding the size of my belly (with ten weeks still to go!) I like to think of the quote from the movie, Juno, "That shirt's working pretty hard, isn't it?"
