"Baaaaaaby Baluuuuuga...."

Because Eden is *so* stink'n active, we went in for another ultrasound this week just to confirm that she didn't have the cord wrapped around her neck a bazillion times with how much she jumps/flips/spins around. The good news is that the cord is not wrapped around her neck, even once, and she seems content in her head-down position... which is great. :) The 'bad' news is that her 'said' head, which I get to push out, happens to be on the larger side (apparently in the 90th percentile). This really isn't "bad" news seeing as if she's got Charley's big head, there's a good chance that she's (fingers crossed) got his big brains too - which would be FANTASTIC. I always knew marrying a genius would pay off. My kids have a chance!! whoohoo!

But in all seriousness, we are praising God because she appears to be very healthy and strong- and BIG. Whereas most babies would be weighing in at about 4 pounds right now, my little watermellon head is already 5 1/2 lbs! During the ultrasound, we also noticed that she's got a good amount of fuzz on that head... as well as some meat on her bones. YAY for chubby, big headed babies! We are 34 weeks now... which is nuts. How has it gone so fast?? What's crazy is that she could make her grand appearance as early as two weeks from now (even though she probably won't). I think it'd be awesome if she were born on the 8th of July... cause then her birthday would be 07-08-09. Wouldn't *that* be easy to remember?

So, pregnancy has made me kinda loopy. Yesterday we were driving to church and I leaned forward in excitment, pointed, and said, "Charley!! Look at those awesome fighter jets flying in formation". He glanced up, looked over at me, and then started laughing his head off. Just about the point that I noticed my own airheaded mistake, he said, "You goofball, those are GEESE". um. oops.

Wanna see a picture of what Eden is sorta looking like now? Just don't think that's how my body/tummy is looking right now... cause it's not. My belly sticks out about twice that far.

I can't show you any pictures of her from this latest ultrasound because she flat out refused to cooperate and would *not* show us her face for anything. I guess she wants to surprise us... or maybe she was just mad at us for talking about her big head. However, if she comes out with a nose ring, so help me. It was actually sort of a blessing in disguise because we're so close to the due date now, that deep down, I really didn't want to peek. In only a matter of weeks, I'll be holding her and looking at her chubby little face in person, rather than a fuzzy ultrasound television screen. :)

We've been enjoying some beautiful weather this Summer. It's been awesome to have so many sunny and warm days. Charley made me a grilled chicken salad after church yesterday and we had lunch out in the gazebo. It was so relaxing! I couldn't believe how warm it was! It was down-right hot! We've also seen our mama and baby moose twins a few more times in the past couple weeks. They were laying out, sun bathing in our neighbor's yard yesterday... SO CUTE.

That's about it ... I'll do some belly shots again soon so you can see how huge I am now. I was told at church yesterday that it was 'unbelieveable' that I'm not due sooner than the middle of July because I look like I could pop anyday now. I just thought to myself: "if you're trying to compliment me... don't."
