Baby Number 2

We finally were able to borrow a scanner from my parents...so we can show off our beautiful baby boy, before he's even born. I have had 6 ultrasounds so far. I will continue having an ultra sound every week since my fluid levels are high. As of today, May 13 2009, my fluid levels are at 26%...mainly making me really uncomfortable. The baby weighs 6 lbs 5 oz (3 oz heavier than Aleigha was when she was born...and he still has about 3 weeks to go.) I'm nervous that I will have to have a c-section if he gets too big. Also, he is in the transverse position (laying side ways across my stomach)....the worst position to be in when I go into labor. He still has time to flip though and since my fluid levels are high, he has plenty of room (which is a good thing about the high levels). However, if my water breaks on it's own (which is another symptom of the high fluid) and he hasn't flipped yet, then they will automatically do a c-section. There is too high of a chance that the cord will wrap around his neck. If I start having contractions and get to the hospital before my water breaks, then they will try to manually flip him. So right now, everything is up in the air. We'll just see how everything is when I go into labor. They will induce me at 39 weeks if he doesn't come before that. I'm really hoping he does come early though...I am sooo uncomfortable. We are still a little undecided about his name. We have narrowed the names to: Gabriel Christopher, Brenton Christopher, Brenton Gabriel, or Carter Matthew. I think we are leaning towards one of the Brenton's. I was at Aleigha's peditricians yesterday, and I was talking about the popularity of the names with one of his nurses...under the age of 2 years old (as patients) they have about 4 or 5 Gabriel's, 1 Carter (3 more over the age of 5), and no Brenton's. We don't want him to have a real popular name. All the names are still an option though...I suppose we will just have to see him to know. Well, I hope everyone enjoys the pictures of our litle baby boy. All of these pictures were taken last week at 35 1/2 weeks, May 6 2009. The first three are 4D and the last one is 3D. I wanted to post the 3D so that people can see the difference bwtn 4D and 3D. The technician told us that the only difference is there is motion for the 4D, therefore, making the baby look more "full"-which is more accurate.

His foot is up by his forehead-you can see his perfect 5 little toes

A half smile-you could see him smile perfectly during the ultra sound, but she couldn't get the full smile

His mouth open-looks like he's licking his arm
