Well, our sweet boy turned himself back around, and he is now head down and pretty far down, so the doctor is hoping he won't turn again. We also found out in the ultrasound that he is a BIG BOY! Now, ultrasounds aren't completely accurate, but according to measurements he's a little over 8 lbs (and I still have 3 weeks to go), and in the 95th percentile. Oh boy. Of course, this news made my athletic husband very excited (he's dreaming of a future linebacker) whereas all I could think about was the pain in having to push this large baby out! I have dilated 2 cm, and if I don't go into labor in the next 2 weeks, we'll do another ultrasound to check his size. If he is close to 10 lbs. they'll want to induce me that day. So, while I have been less than patient with this last trimester, it seems as though he will be here soon, and I don't even have my hospital bag packed!
Despite his potential size, we are so excited that he is growing and healthy, and it was so nice to get a sneak peek of him shortly before he makes his grand entrance. Baby Frazier, we can't wait to meet you!

About Me
- The Lawrence's
- We are a blessed family of six with 2 sweet girls and 2 precious boys! We have a heart for the fatherless (our oldest came to our family through an almost 2.5 year adoption journey and our youngest was adopted at birth) as truly we are all orphans until we discover the grace-filled and deeper than deep love that only our Heavenly Father gives. He's so good to love us in all our brokenness! Our non-human family members include 2 dogs, 1 cat, 20 or so chickens, bee hives, and 3 cows. We believe that with Jesus all things are possible, so we dare to dream and live out our dreams. We all have a story - this is ours.
