Emma's a BIG girl...........ALREADY!

I went to the doctor today for my 34 week check up! As soon as we went in the nurse let us hear the heartbeat (130) and she measured my tummy, which is routine. When she was looking at the measurement, she said "wow you're measuring about 2 weeks ahead, have you been like that the whole time?". I told her no they always just say it looks good. So she said that she would tell the doctor to recheck her measurement. So when Dr. Johnson came in she remeasured and came up with the same thing as the nurse. She then decided that we should have an ultrasound to see just how big Ms. Emma is. So we waited and finally went in for ultrasound. She did her thing, and told us Emma is still a girl (thankfully) and then went on to say that she already weighs 5.7 lbs. (88th percentile) She said to expect to gain 1/2 lb. or so each week from here on out..... that means Ms. Emma is looking like a 9 pounder!!!! Gracie was 8 lbs. so not much bigger, but it was just unreal to think that she is almost 6 lbs. already and we still have 6 weeks to go!! So I have to go back for another glucose test next week (my 3rd one). I hate drinking that yucky stuff. But because of the baby's weight they want to keep a close eye on my sugar level!! Other than that though everything is fabulous!!! We are so excited! We will finally get to meet her in no time at all!! It is really coming on quickly!! Sorry no pics to go with my story - we couldn't get any good shots during the ultrasound because she kept her face hid!!
