OBGYN Update and Latest Ultrasound!

When I went to the OBGYN yesterday, I got some great news: I have not gained anything in a month!!! Actually, I probably have, but I've lost weight from since I started watching sugar and carbs more carefully, so it all must've evened out. I'm sure when I breastfeed, I'll burn even more calories. My doctor said that I am measuring right on schedule and that things looked good. I am now down to appts every 2 weeks-- evidence that it's getting close to the end!

I had an ultrasound scheduled after my regular appointment. When I got there, baby girl was lying face down (again) but promptly turned herself in a wonderful position after hearing the disappointment in her mommy's voice. We got some great shots!

Oh, and guess what? She grew hair! Like overnight or something! She has quite a lot for not having any a week ago. Also, she was chewing on the umbilical cord. How cute is that? She also kept putting her hand in her mouth and sucking it. She likes to suck on her big toe too. She opened her eyes for us and looked around. They said she is chubby with squeezable cheeks. Also, they even mentioned that she has a defined lipline like I have. Maybe she'll look like me! :-)

To end a great day, my grandma met us at Target and bought us this stroller and car seat set. I didn't think I'd choose something so girly initially, but I really do like it. It's hard to see from the picture, but it has little flowers all over it. I don't want a unisex one. It's a girl for goodness sake. We can get a different one for a boy if we have one later.

Now for pictures of my gorgeous child:

Can you see the umbilical cord across the side of her face?

I love the way her little chubby arm looks in this picture:

Her little lips are sticking out in this one:

This is the link to my ultrasound album. There are tons more pics of my angel there!
