We got another scheduled ultrasound to take another look at his kidneys, and looks like we'll have to have another one 3w from now to follow them. They're still a little bit bigger than they're supposed to be, but only a little, so no one really seems concerned... just continuing to follow their size.
He is getting big now! His growth measures is the 46th percentile, except his arms, which measure above the 95th! Meaning, he has inherited my long, long arms- and Derrick, it's really not nice to call your son a "knuckle scraper". Long arms come in handy for many things such as reaching items on the top shelf, scratching your back, making those critical end-of-game goal saves, etc... He weighs close to 3lbs now, and man, it feels like a heckuva lot more than that. By the end of the day I find myself trying to hold my belly up for a little relief from that anchor feeling. He moves around constantly which is great, however, the bigger he gets the more uncomfortable it gets. We're having quite the battle of wills these days. I keep trying to tell him that backs go toward the back and bellies go towards the front, but even with all my nagging and poking him, he still insists on putting his big old hard back right in the L side of my tummy. It's like this big, hard mass sticking out, and trust me, it does not feel too good, and my already football-shaped tummy looks like a retarded humpback whale...
I've attached a few U/S pics from last week. He was really grumpy and pissed off that we were doing this, and refused to let us see his face. In most of the images he was either covering his face with his arms, or turning it in towards my back, so we couldn't see. In the profile pic, the one where he looks like a grouchy old man, you can see that's he's getting quite a lot of hair! No bald little eggheads for us! Just hairy eggheads, I suppose... ;)
