Baby Wong Waits For His Big Reveal

I went to the doctor today (I go every week since my due date is a month away) and my "baby belly" was measuring a little small so the doctor sent me to get an ultrasound. Anything but perfect news always makes me a little nervous, but James assures me he's just a "small Asian baby." And believe me, I'm providing him with lots of nutrition. Mommy Wong has gained 30 lbs as of today! Eeek!! Baby Wong has a tendency to measure small. My original due date was actually September 1st, but when I had my first ultrasound baby wasn't as big as expected so the doctor changed my due date to September 10th. So who knows when will baby Wong arrive? Maybe he's just a small baby like his Daddy was (5lbs at birth) compared to me (7lbs 12oz), and baby James grew big, fat, and healthy in no time.

While the ultrasound was really to get a sense of how much baby weighs (something I still don't know), it was really nice to "see" him. Well, he kept his hands in front of his face the entire time, so that was a bit frustrating. I told the technician he was waiting for the "big reveal." I think I watch to many makeover shows. She did manage to get one picture of its face, but its a bit hard to read. She says he has a full head of hair (just as I suspected after looking at pictures of baby James) and is definitely a boy.

Cheat Sheet

When I got back from the doctor's I set up the swing. I getting very good at assembling things thanks to this new house and new baby. It looks so comfy - I can't wait to put him in it. I'm still working on the nursery. I should have everything together in a week.

Approximately 34 days left, but whose counting. Oh wait, me :)
