The giant genes trump the dwarf genes...

The lil 'un and I had our checkup today and I'm happy to report that we're both doing well. My blood sugar is great which is a plus but I'm apparently anemic and need to take iron supplements - oh well. We'll just hope that the magnesium trumps out the iron in the constipation war. ;)

As far as lil Schnegg goes, he definitely takes after daddy. He's a long-legged, big-headed bebe. He's dead on 50th percentile for weight but well above average on femur length and head diameter. If we only went off the head measurement, I'd already be 27 weeks - instead of just 25!!! (She assured me that I'll still be able to get the head out, though.)

As some of you know, the size of G's son's head has been of some concern to me. The other day I was looking at Gerald and just started laughing. I had to tell him that his head is probably the size that junior's whole body will be when he pops out...

Now for the best part, the results of baby Schnegg's latest photo op - we got some really cute 3d pics.

Lil' Schnegg in profile:(No he doesn't have a hole in his head, that's apparently just a side-effect of the 3d photo imaging process...)

And playing with his toesies:

This one is apparently a pic of his foot right next to my cervix (proof that I'm not imagining junior playing soccer with my va-jay-jay). I can help with pointing out the cervix since the doc explicitly showed it to me, but I can't help with finding his foot except to say it's somewhere to the right of my cervix...
