Anderson's a BIG boy!
Sorry it has been so long since I've updated my blog. There is so much to tell. Christopher and I have been really busy with work and getting the house ready for Anderson's arrival. We also have traveled alot lately. Time is just flying by! I have had two doctors appointments since my last blog. I went July 15th for my 28th week appointment. Everything was progressing great. It was at that appointment that the doctor told me that I would need an ultrasound so they could get an estimate on Anderson's weight. He is growing like a weed! I have been measuring 2-3 weeks ahead and they wanted to see just how big he is. Yesterday was my 30 week appointment. We had the ultrasound done first. I was awesome to see how big our baby boy is! His heart rate was 150. All his organs look good and the amniotic fluid level is normal. They are estimating that he weighs 4 lbs 12 oz!!!!!!!! That means at just over 30 weeks he is the size of a 35 week baby! The doctors think that he will be at least 9 pounds! I can't believe it! I am starting to get nervous about labor and delivery. Just pray my pelvis can do its job so I don't have to have a C-section. If I keep measuring this big, if there are any complications, or they are worried I can't make it to 39 weeks I will have to have an amniocentesis to check Anderson's lung development and may need to be induced. Everyone pray that I can make it to at least 39 weeks without complications and that even though he may be huge, I'll be able to deliver him vaginally. Love you all! I'm at work so I have to run. Hugs and Kisses!

Oh Amy!!!! I am hoping that it all works out for you so you don't have to have a C-section. I am super glad to hear that he's healthy and growing well. I love you and wish I could be there to see you and hug you. I sent you a box on Thursday full of goodies. I wish I could have been there for the shower. In the box is a bunch of stuff we love and Luke loves. I found a cute shirt you had to have for Anderson....you will see what I mean when you open the box. Love reading your blog.

Sweetheart, these Fite's are just big!!!!They have to make big entrances! I'm sure all will be well, though, and you will sail through your pregnancy, Mike and I pray for you and Anderson every day. I, like Jennifer, wish I could have been at the shower. Miss you all soooo much.
