OPPOSITES!

Today we got another look at Jakob. At 33 weeks, he is measuring to be 35.5 weeks...he is a big guy! Weighing in at 5 pounds 3 oz., or the size of a small melon. No wonder I am starting to waddle!

So far he and Lukas are as opposite as they can be (considering what we know of Jake:). Lukas always measured to be so small that the doctors were worried. Jakob is measuring to be HUGE! Lukas was breech, head up the whole time. Jakob, head down. Lukas did not kick very much....Jakob ALL the time. The doctor's thought Lukas had a very small head...Jake's is measuring a little on the large side. All of these differences (minus the head size:) makes me SO very excited to meet Jake. Having 2 of the same sex, it sometimes feels like we will have the exacts same experience, I no longer think that will be the case. I cant wait to see what Jakob looks like and see what his personality holds for us...it would just be nice if he could be as good of a sleeper as his big brother!

The whole head size thing is going to give me nightmares. The other night I dreamt a man was on our front porch weedwacking himself to death!!! I have a feeling tonight I am going to dream of a giving birth to a bobble-head:) Really though, his head isnt measuring that big...just a week ahead of his legs:)

Hopping into himself

HAPPY EASTER...and what a happy day it was. We got to spend the day with so many special and important people in our lives. I was given permission to be off bed rest for the day, which was a wonderful feeling! Lukas had so much fun on his multiple egg hunts and eat (and vomiting up) jelly beans. This was the first holiday I felt like Lukas really understood. He could not have been happier ALL day long!

Lukas is really starting to show his true personality and it is hilarious. He so comes from Matt and me! He is FULL (or exploding with) non-stop energy, will do anything for a laugh, loves being in the spotlight, is organized, loving, cuddly, friendly, stubborn, thoughtful, curious, strong willed-basically one out-going guy! He will do anything for a laugh or a smile! Shy is not part of his show!
