New Specs on Kai

Well He is getting big. The picture to your left is a recent ultrasound of Kai, and in it you can just make out his face (his mouth in the center and those two black spots to the right are his eyes). Kinda Crazy.

Today marks 37 weeks in Aya's pregnancy. Kai has grown to be around 2.5kg (estimated weight) which is about 5 pounds. I am pretty sure this is small for US standards but in Japan, it's right on track. Also now, from crown to toes Kai is around 47cm - 50cm: around 20 inches for all you non-metric fans. And a spec chart wouldn't be complete without the baby's head diameter, right? Coming in at a whopping 87mm, or 3.4" which is about the size of your palm; so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

From here on out, the baby can gain up to a pound every week, and grow larger in size as well. Aya and I just went to the doctors yesterday and we met up with another couple who we befriend along the journey. She was there with her husband and was just about to go into labor. We wished her luck as Aya peered into what the eminent future held.

Then later on that day, Aya received a phone call from her good friend who is also pregnant, and had a rlatively same due date. She was calling just to say hi and that her son was born!!!!! Ha, I think Aya is ready to get'er done, and now its just a matter of waiting and being patient.

As in the poker game, you don't wanna push with K,8 off. I'm pretty sure Aya is waiting for Aces; then we're just gonna get it in with the best of it, and take'er down.

Hello contractions, hello baby. We can only hope it goes that fast.
