Peas vs. Pumpkins and a Mango

Yesterday we had a doctors appointment. Cardon and I were somewhat nervous because this was the appointment where we would find out if Ryder is growing strong and healthy or if something may be wrong...

Ryder is definitely a healthy boy!! :) 

"Your baby is big" those were the first words our doctor told us.  He explained I might be farther along than we all thought or Ryder will just be a big boy. I chuckled to myself and said "well yeah.. he's just taking after his dad." (Cardon is 6'5)

Dr. Izu responded "That's true. If you plant peas, you'll get peas. If you plant a pumpkin, you'll get a pumpkin" haha love it.

guess we're having a pumpkin. (seems appropriate since he's due in October)

but as of right now (19 weeks) baby Ryder is just the size of a mango (6 inches long, 8 1/2 ounces). He's starting to sprout hair on his cute little head and research says: he can now hear ev-er-y-thing. how crazy is that?! 

(baby Ryder is soo much cuter than this cartoon baby)
