6 Years Ago

I was driving around up near where I had Jack today, and I realized that it was about 6 years ago now that I was going up there weekly for my final month check ups.(Jacks birthday is two weeks from today) I had an ultrasound about this time, and he was measuring to be about an 11 pound baby. This was based on the size of his head. I was terrified! I did not want to try and deliver an 11 pound baby. I had this idea in my head of this humongous baby Huey looking baby with cheeks so chubby that you could not see his eyes. I saw a 6mth old in the waiting room and I just knew that was what Jack would look like when he came out.

I went home that day, stunned by what I had been told. I had no idea what my doctor was going to say about this. I had been having some blood pressure issues, and I was on semi bed rest. All the crazy things that run through your head when you have been told you are having an 11lb baby raced through my bloated pregnant mind. It was right about this time that our A/C had gone out. I was holed up in my bedroom with a window unit a/c and a fan, with nothing to do but think about what was about to happen. Looking back now, I cannot even imagine not having anything to do.
