Fun Updates

We had our 37 week appointment yesterday and it was quite eventful. I went in expecting it to be another quick one, say your greetings, check my cervix, get a hearbeat, and I will go on my way. Well, my doctor checked my cervix and was pretty confident that she was sitting breech, so he wanted to double check with an ultrasound. Yes, that's right, we had to go back to..."THE ULTRASOUND LADY!!!" The tension in that room was unreal. We were both trying to be so nice to one another, but it was extremely uncomfortable. At one point during the ultrasound Bill asked if it was still a girl in there, because he has been having crazy dreams that we're having a boy, and this was her response, "Oh yeah it better still be a girl after all we went through!" So I guess the question, "Do you remember us/" was unneccessary!!

Anyways, the ultrasound showed that she is not breech, she is sitting head down, ready to go- she just has not dropped. She weighs 7.7 pounds right now and has a full head of hair. My fluid levels are perfect and everything about her is 100% healthy, oh it was so amazing to hear that. The funniest thing about the ultrasound was our precious little girl's big ole' head. Turns out that her head is 39 weeks in size and her body is 37. Bill and I immediately started laughing when we heard this. For those of you who do not know, Bill and I both have abnormally large heads. Bill was in the 98th percentile in head size when he was born and I do not know where I was, but I was up there. So to hear that our daughter is already in the 90 percentile was no shocker!! We do enjoy letting everyone know that she is already taking afer mommy and daddy.

On another note, I had a maternity photo shoot done by Lysha Stanford with Smiles & Such Photography and here are some of the proofs. I love them. Here is her website if you want to check her out, I highly reccommend her!!Smiles and Such Photography
