Our little Butterball

I am now 33 weeks along with Mr Patton.  After having to take the 3 hour glucose test because I was just over the limit on the 1 hour my Dr measured me and found he was measuring big, which isn't strange at all for a Pomeroy Baby. He had been measuring pretty much right on track the whole time- which I thought was strange.  Anyway, since big babies go with Gestational Diabetes she wanted me to have a sonogram to get his size.  Luckily, it turns out that I don't have gestational diabetes- which is a huge relief for me because I live on sugar...it would have been a rough Christmas for me!  We had the sonogram today and he has big fluffy cheeks like his big sister Elliott.  He's pretty smooshed in there since I"m measuring 2 weeks ahead! They estimate him to be around 5 1/2 pounds and in the 87th percentile.  Another chunky baby for us :-)  I was hoping to not be induced this time, but if my alternative is giving birth to a 3 month old baby I guess I better just kick him out early ;-)

His umbilical cord is what you see to the left of his face.  I told Chris I worry so much that he's going to tangle himself up in it, he is always all over the place.
 I couldn't get this one to turn, its a regular 2D profile shot with his hand on his head. Also like big sister Elliott.
Can't wait to meet our little guy!
