Max is Fat!!!
So, here's the latest with the pregnancy.
Two weeks ago, my doctor took some measurements and Max is weighing in at 3lbs 8ozs.
That was at 29 weeks.
Grant it, she said the ultrasound machine can be off a pound or so.
But I am here to tell you, Max feels every bit of almost 4lbs on my bladder.
Now, at 31 weeks, I had an elective 3d/4d ultrasound done and one look at his little fat cheeks and I think my doctor's estimate on his weight is probably dead on.
By the way, getting a 3d/4d ultrasound was such a fun experience.
If you can, I highly recommend getting one.
Not every doctor's office does it, so I had mine done at a facility that specializes in doing them.
My whole family went and we had so much fun checking out who little Max looks like.
The verdict is.....JUST LIKE ZOE, my 4 year old, who by the way looks just like my husband.
Great!
That means two kids and not one who looks like me.
I will say...Max and Zoe have my thighs (not necessarily a good thing, but at least it's something).
Until next time,
Val
P.S. We still haven't decided on a middle name....keep 'em coming!

What's your husband's name? Would that work? Otherwise I suggest Maxwell Ian Warner or Maxwell Ethan Warner. Good luck to you and Max.

Max is adorable, Val! Unbelievable how far ultra-sounds have come. When I had an ultra-sound of my son, who is now 13, I had a hard time trying to figure out where exactly he was in the ultra- sound photo. :) I think it is so exciting to have a prebirth photo of your baby.

Hey, Val. Max is getting big, and I'm sure you feel it. How beautiful of you to share his picture with your fans.
How about Spencer as a middle name.
I saw the picture of you hugging Larry. I thought back to the days when you, Dean and Marcella participated in a special workout. There you were stretching your legs--body on top and each leg spread way out on either side.
Don't worry, you'll be back there soon enough.
You and Ana are glowing these days. So happy for you

Valerie, First i want to say how beautiful you look as always and I would never know you were pregnant if you didn't say something, also your Daughter is beautiful as well. Now for the question at hand. What should you have as your Son's middle name? I think you should go with Charles. Maxwell Charles Warner has a nice ring to it. Don't you think so! Have a wonderful day

Hi, Val! You look beautiful!
And if you want a croissant, dammit, they'd better get you a croissant!

Hi Val -
I met you at a baby shower this past weekend (we talked about the Dr. Brown bottles). . . Zoe is absolutely adorable, and she's going to make a FABULOUS big sister :o)
How about "Xavier" for Max's middle name?

Hey Val, cute pic! I want to get a 3D for my baby. Where did you get this done? It looks awesome. BTW, how's William for a middle name?

How about POTASH as the middle name, after Larry Potash? It is unique and clean and refined, like a true aristocrat. And Max can use it as his password at all the web sites he looks at.

Michele,
I got my 3d ultrasound done at Premiere Ultrasound in St. John, IN.
Maybe you can look it up on the web.
I don't have the number handy.
Good luck.
Val

Hi Val-
I met you at the Disney Store last week Monday and you told me to email you. We were comparing the size of our tummies and laughing about our kids. It was a blast to meet you. You're looking great and hopefully I can run into you again downtown. I am 37 weeks and delivering in 2 weeks. You laughed at me for having 3 girls and not finding out what our 4th is going to be. Soon we will have the answer. Right now I think I am giving birth to a jumping bean! Hey, the new promo is hysterical! My husband and I die laughing everytime we see it. I wish you and your family all the best!
P.S. Let me know when I can join you for some popcorn from Garrett's!!

Hi Val, I'm from Canada and watch WGN every morning. I will be moving to Chicago in a few days. What about "Carver" for a middle name for Max. Hey by the way we have the same last name...:)

Hi Val, I think you have so great as a real representative of pregnancy. I absolutely loved when youwarned drivers about a street near Addison where the cops were giving tickets no matter if you were 8 months pregnant! You were sooo funny!!!! I think considering a family name for Max's middle name is a good idea. The 3-d ultrasound is amazing--I wish they would have had that 16 years ago for my daughter. Look forward to hearing about your motherhood!
