porker

emerson is on his way to being the first in the family to fall in the upper half of the standard growth charts. according to our ultrasound technician, he is a "porker" - he's got a big belly (up over the 90th percentile), although his head circumference and femur length are closer to average (more around the 70th percentile). and his estimated weight is just over 2.5 lbs as of tuesday, again well above the median. we're thrilled. everything is going smoothly, and e seems to be happy and growing great. he is quite a kicker and flipper - much more active, or at least more forceful, than i remember bryn being. of course, it could be that i'm more aware this time around too.

and, 'cause i have to, here is the latest photo of our bouncing baby boy - a 3D! you can see his face behind a little hand and, i think, a foot (toes pointing out at you). he was being coy during this scan, so this was the best we could get.
