Super Nub

Niki had what should be her final ultrasound this morning, and, as has been the case now for weeks, it only took the technician about three seconds of exploring to declare: "You're having a big baby." How big? Granted, they told us that their measurements could be off by as much as 15 percent, but according to their first measurement, Nub was an incredible 9 pounds, 14 ounces. After a second review, they downgraded him to a mere 9 pounds, 9 ounces. That would put Nub in the 98th percentile. Put another way, while Niki was looking at the screen in the room, she noticed one line that had the date February 19. She asked what that indicated. And what that indicated was that regardless of our due date of March 9 (three weeks from today), Nub will be considered a full-term baby by Friday. As in Friday three days from now. We looked at each other and laughed on our way out of the building and then had a very quiet ride to work...
