| Jennifer is now 31 weeks pregnant and counting. We are getting closer and closer to the big moment. Maddox should be longer than 16 inches by now…and he should hit a growth spurt pretty soon. He can now turn his head from side to side and he’s gaining more and more baby fat. It has been one of the most unbelievable and exciting things to experience all the changes that have taken place from the moment we first saw the + sign on the pee stick to now. We can’t wait to hold him for the first time, see what he looks like, who he acts like… |
| Supposedly carrying him is like carrying 4 oranges (below). Jennifer thinks that statistic is wrong and it’s more like carrying an orange tree! |
 |
| Here’s the bare belly shot everyone’s been waiting for! This is Jennifer at 30 weeks pregnant. From the front she’s round…but a little pointy from the side. She says it feels a whole lot bigger, heavier, and more awkward than what it looks. |
 |
| We had our second and last ultrasound recently. We waited in the Dr.’s office for over 1 1/2 hours for the Doc. to show up. The room was hot and Jennifer had her glucose test that morning…which meant she had to down a gallon or 2 of some foreign substance. When the doctor finally showed up and began the ultrasound, Jennifer started to get nauseated. So…he hurried through the whole process and we didn’t get to experience as much as the first ultrasound. |
| However, the most important thing is that Maddox is doing great. He’s growing and developing like he’s supposed to. He weighed approximately 3.5 lbs…and he’s looking chubby! We are getting even more anxious and excited. The nursery is complete for the most part except for one piece. Jennifer is more uncomfortable each and every day. Maddox has begun to take cheap shots in the ribs…which I find kind of funny but Jennifer seems to think it’s a little painful. Anyway, here are some pics from the second ultrasound.
