Week 35 and Dr. appt.


Well we are down to about 4 1/2 weeks on our count down until our little girl arrives :) We are getting sooo excited. Today we had a doctor's appointment and ultrasound. Her heartbeat sounds good at about 132. We also had the tech. check to be sure we were still having a girl--IT IS!


She has pretty long legs and a fully belly. The tech. said that she is weighing about 6 lbs 15 oz. This means that if we are to go full term, she could be a big 8 lb (almost 9--eek!) baby. But everything else looks healthy and normal!!! The tech. also said that it looked as if our little one already has a head full of hair--we are curious if it is red or dark like her daddy! I am attaching a couple photos, so enjoy! The top two she is looking at you with her hands right in front of her chin. During the ultrasound it looked almost as if she was sucking away at the back of her little hand. The bottom one is a profile, she looks to have beautifully plump lips!


One more update, they did say that I am almost dialated to 1 cm. This really doesn't mean much in terms of going into labor or progressing. Some women are dialated at a 1 for weeks prior to actual delivery.


We are now on weekly check-ups and appointments so we will keep you updated.


Lots of Love
