August 10th Photos of Kicker Garrity - All Growed Up!

We finally got to see Kicker and boy is he going to be a chunker!
In true Garrity form, Kicker is taking after his dad with a noggin' that is measuring 35 weeks and 1 day while the rest of him is measuring 33 weeks and 1 day. This, coupled with the fact that he is weighing in at 5lbs 4oz and is projected to be at least 8lbs when he is born, makes Megan a little apprehensive about delivery. But either way, we are very thankful to God that he is healthy and everything is in working order.
Jimmy got to enjoy the ultrasound show from a leather couch and watched the whole thing on a huge flat screen T.V. We laughed when the technician showed us the "family jewels." As much as we tried to move Kicker around so that we could get a full face 3-D image, he was "out for the count." His hands were smooshing the right side of his face and he was sleeping very soundly. The technician said that Megan must have worn him out at the gym that morning.
Kicker seems to be growing a whole head of hair (which makes sense if you follow the Old Wives' Tale, because Megan has consumed 450 tums in the last 7 weeks of pregnancy due to indigestion and acid reflux!) and is having no problem plumping up. You can see his chubby little cheeks below! You cannot see his hair by the way, even though it looks like he is wearing a toupee, that is his head touching the top of the placenta and we were unable to get a full head shot.
