Chandler Grason...

Here is our little man, approximately weighing in at 4.5 lbs & I'm only into my 31st week!! He is a bit on the large side and I have another sono scheduled in 4 weeks to check his size/weight. I think he takes after his mother as I was a hefty 9lb 4 0z @ birth! We are thinking he might be coming a few weeks early, we are certainly ready to meet our little miracle! You might have noticed the title, that isn't the name we have officially decided to go with that's just what his Grammy (my mom) calls him because James & I are still undecided. It's still a toss up between Chandler Bruce (both family names) or Grason James.
