Ultrasound Pictures of a LARGE baby
Due the fact that I am so far along, they don't even ask if we want 3D pictures of the baby.
It will be interesting to see who he looks like more, and how close to this he looks. He is measuring with an expected due date of Dec. 29th, so we have another ultrasound on the 28th to see how much weight he has put on. He is supposedly already 7.5 pounds! The doctor didn't want to make a rush decision and take him before the next ultrasound because they can be off by a bit on the estimation of the weight. Depending on how much he puts on in the two weeks, will decide whether or not we have a c-section or inducement. There is not really a chance that things will happen naturally unless I go before then, which is very unlikely. Who knows, I could have him in a week or so...

Lately
Well, I have been feeling like there has been nothing to post for a while now, but I have decided to try and be better about blogging.
About a month ago Brandon went to Costco and found this box of dog toys for a really good price. When we got it home Gus took to just about all the toys right away which was a first. What you must understand about our dog is that he loves toys that have squeakers in them, and most of these toys do. One night Brandon and Gus were playing with one of the toys and Gus decided that it was time to find that squeaker. Next thing we know, the head of the fox toy is completely ripped off the body and Gus is taking out the filling to find that squeaker. I was a little worried that he would eat the filling, but instead he would take a little out and throw it to the side. Eventually, he found the squeaker and this was the result:
Brandon and I couldn't help but laugh at him. Shortly after the video ended Gus punctured the squeaker making it so that it had to be thrown away. I have never seen him more concerned and upset about anything, but he was definitely concerned about why the super fun squeaker was being put in the garbage.
Gus also loves rawhide bones. We just can't afford to have them all the time. Gus can finish a good size bone in just about 2 hours. Therefore, he tends to not get them as often as he would like. However, this past week we went grocery shopping and they had a three foot long rawhide bone. This thing was huge! Brandon however decided that we just had to buy it for him, and so we did. Gus was so excited when we took it out of the package. However, as you can tell from the following pictures that it was as big as him! All he did for the first couple of days was lick it, because he couldn't figure out what else to do. Brandon eventually took the saw to the bone and cut off a piece. Gus was in heaven and has been happily enjoying the monster rawhide since.
Well, baby Austin should be here anytime. The crib is put together, just need some sheets, and the changing table is together. We have the car seat ready to go. All we need now is the baby! Brandon is so excited to be a dad. I can tell that he is going to be great! Even though he says that we are not Gus' parents, he sure treats him like a kid. We will get to see our baby on Tuesday, so I will try and put up a better picture. The doctor wants to see just how big he is so that we can start making plans according for birth. Brandon was 10 lbs so the doctor wants to make sure that if he is larger, that we know before hand and can have him early.
