it's my due date

the greatest doctor on the face of the planet:

dr nielson

LOVE HIM.

sean.

greatest husband on the face of the planet.

LOVE HIM MOST:)

chase.

fattest baby i've ever had.

LOVE HIM

for coming out fast.

good baby:)

right after i delivered chase,

nurse jodi and nurse laura kept saying,

"wow, that's a big baby!"

i assured them,

it wasn't as big as my first.

{i had very confident hand gestures to go with my comments too. very believing. third time moms know it all, you know.}

and so i told them,

"my first was 9.4, HE was big, this baby is not as big."

while chase got some oxygen to "pink up" they continued to comment on how THIS was a big baby. look at those cheeks!" 

{he does have great cheeks.}

i again made sure they knew

he wasn't that big,

brennan was big!

this baby was not that big.

{did you get that he wasn't that big?}

and then they moved him to the scale.

and i heard sean,

"OH!! OH!! WOAH!!! WOAH!!! he's bigger than brennan!!!"

and dr. nielson and i looked at each other with our mouths dropped wide open.

so much for brennan being big.

chase wins.

by 2 ounces.

2 weeks earlier than brennan.

the nurses were right.

i feel much better about how i couldn't get around that last week.

and losing over ten pounds in less than 10 minutes.

that was really great.

b/c there was one big fat baby inside of me.

i asked dr nielson that if there is a next time,

could we do he/she at 38 weeks instead?

good grief, he was 9.6 at 39 weeks!!!

he just shook his head in disbelief.

and told me to just be happy we didn't go to 40 weeks.

the kid measured right on at every visit.

i guess i just make huge boys.

that measure right on.

good thing my pelvis is

AWESOME. 

................................................................. 

the morning before...

we should have known all along!

worth it.

SO worth it.
