Baby Update and my new do!

So, we had our 36 week check up today and it was the most eventful dr appt I have had in a long time. We actually got to have an ultrasound and check for dialation and everything. I am dialated to 1 1/2 centimeters so far and he is positioned with his head down so we are making progress!!! Yay! We can't wait! The most noteworthy part of the check up, my dr thinks he already weighs 7 lbs!!! She thinks he will at least be an 8lb baby! Yikes! I am worrying that he will be too big for me to push out! I really need to lay of the sweets so he doesnt get much bigger. Here is a picture of his face from the ultrasound, it isnt really clear, but you can tell how chubby his cheeks already are! Isn't he so precious?? You can see his left hand on the side of his head and his right hand on his chin. We can't wait to meet him! This picture just makes it harder to think about anything other than holding him!!
The other exciting news of the day...my sister finally talked me into getting rid of my blonde hair after years and years. This isnt the best picture, but you can at least get the idea that I have brown hair now! I never thought this day would come, but I REALLY like it! I will have to post a better picture when it is freshly styled and I am not in my PJs. I needed to take a 36 week pic so I thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone. Thanks for finally talking me into changing Jen! Stay tuned for a better picture...

I still really like it! I agree it looks better freshly styled, but what a fun change. I can't believe you actually let me do it! I hope you love it! I guess we won't look like twins anymore though. :(

Oh, and you look a lot more like Amy now. :)

You look like Amy! I love your perfect bump! I hope you are still feeling well, you look great, and that the last few weeks go by comfortably and without any stress. The first week or so at home with Ari was the best time in the world. (Even when lots of people are around.) It's just peaceful and magical and nothing else matters except that new little person. All my love to you and Baby Stockton.

Holy crap - that's one big kid! I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how much you eat over the next couple of weeks - he's still going to get bigger. I can't wait! :) I love the new hair, it looks great!

Oh my gosh that ultrasound picture just made my heart leap! I can't wait to meet him either! And I am thrilled that I finally have a sister that looks like me and I don't have to be the "brown" sheep all by myself anymore!

I was so distracted by your belly that I didn't notice your hair. Cute!
