Benjamin Albarrán

It's been officially decided! The baby's name will be Benjamin Juan Albarrán! I had another ultrasound this afternoon, and little Benjamin is weighing in at 5 pounds and 10.5 ounces! The doctor was happy. She said for where I am at (a day over 36 weeks), he's not too small and he's not too giant! We also got the circumference of his head, which measured in at 12.8 inches around. That sounded big enough to me! His stomach was 12.2 inches around, so his head is bigger than his whole tummy! I guess his stomach / body will keep fattening up, where as his head will pretty much stay the same from here until delivery (hopefully it won't get much bigger)! We also got to see that he's already got hair. It was just floating around his head. :-) I guess we won't be having a bald baby. Here's some ultrasound pics... One is of the baby's face and body profile, and the other is the bottom of his foot and toes. The only semi-bad news from the doctor's visit, is that I have not started dialating at all. So, it does not look like the baby will be coming early. As long as it's not so late that he's born on Christmas day! Plus I don't really want to be pregnant for 42 weeks! 40 weeks sounds good enough to me! I guess we'll have to wait and see as time goes by. That's about all the news for this week. I go back again next Tuesday for another ultrasound and exam. I'll write more after that! :-)
