Sorry it has been a while since our last update, but thank you all for your patience. We have one more month to go and we're counting down the days. Tyler continues to be a very active little guy and if how he is now is any indication of how he's going to be when he comes out, we're going to have a lot of fun.
We've been wondering how Tyler is positioned and if we were feeling feet, arms, elbows or other body parts, but a couple of we found out where Tyler's head was. We were at our doctor's appointment and Dr. Ecklund was checking to see if Tyler had turned head down (which he had). What was even cooler was that she showed Brent where to feel his head, so for the first time, Brent got to feel Tyler's head.
We also had another appointment today and we asked Dr. Ecklund if she could tell how heavy Tyler is. Based on feeling his size, she estimates Tyler is about five pounds now and will probably be around six and half pounds or so by the time he is born.
Next week is my last week of work before I start my maternity leave, so I'm definitely looking forward to that. But of course starting my leave means we're getting closer to welcoming Tyler into this world. While Brent and I are both very excited, I have to say I'm also getting a bit nervous. This is a new experience for us both and since we don't have much family close by, Brent and I will be on our own for the most part. We know we'll be fine, though, because we have so many good friends close by who have already done so much for us. We're so thankful to have such wonderful friends who care so much about Tyler before any of us have even met him.
We'll be having weekly doctor visits now until Tyler is born so as we find out more information, we'll keep you all posted!
