We saw Baby Chase!

Yesterday we went to see Baby Chase. Colton came with us and just wasn't sure what to think about it all. I think he was a little worried to see mommy up on the table and someone messing with her belly. On top of it he wasn't feeling like himself with the start of an ear infection (we didn't know about yet). After waiting for almost an hour and a half we finally went back to see Chase. Everything looked really good. I was 32 weeks and 3 days but Chase was measuring about a week ahead of schedule, only because his head measured a tad big. There were no concerns and we loved seeing him. We even got to see him yawn. The technician is such a sweet lady and she printed this picture out just for Colton to keep. She worked and worked to get the perfect picture but Chase was very wiggly. Everytime she thought she had it, he would move. Coltons favorite part was hearing his heartbeat and he kept asking to hear it again. His heart sounded so loud and strong. Eventhough I get to hear his heartbeat at every appointment it still makes me smile (and occasionally tear up.) I'm so thankful that, so far, everything with this pregnancy has been so healthy. The technician said he was about 4 lbs and 5 oz. I'm not sure where all that 4 lbs 5 oz is hiding in this little bump but it must be part of the reason I'm so uncomfortable! It was so neat to be able to take Colton even if it was a lot of work (mostly for daddy) and he had no idea what to think about it all. One day he'll look back and be glad he went.
