Growth

I am so glad Scott finally spilled the news. I would have waited eternally for the scanner to cooperate so we could share our many ultrasound pictures. But since we are already more than half way through this pregnancy, some of you may have first heard about the baby after he arrived.
But just so you don't feel like you missed out on too much these last few months, here are some pictures of Baby Larson growing.
Week 11 (mid March)
Week 16 (mid April)
Week 23 (last night)

Do you remember how big Ian was? It looks like his baby brother is ready to set records too. At our last ultrasound he was measuring two weeks ahead, and was still in the 81st percentile. He already weighs 1 lbs 9 oz, while a typical baby is just over 1 lb. We like our babies big around here.

I am really enjoying how the second time around my belly is blossoming more quickly. This pregnancy has been heavenly, without much morning sickness and with lots of energy and excitement. Playing with Ian all day is the best reminder of why all the less pleasant parts of pregnancy are totally worth it. We can't wait to meet Ian's little brother! Ian will be exactly 18 months old when the baby arrives.

You do look great. My sisters are both due the beginning of October too. Well if big babies all turn out as cute and wonderful as I hear Ian is, then I say keep baby brother growing like a weed. :) Supposedly bigger babies sleep better and what mom wouldn't love that.

Hope you aren't too lonely without Scott right now. Wish I could hang out in Houston. Troy's trip was totally postponed, so I will keep Houston in mind for the future. You look great and you are brave.
