Two Months Left!

As of last Sunday, there are two months left until my due date! Time is flying by and baby preparations are in full swing. Our childbirth class is on Saturday, and my baby shower is next weekend! Last night, I finally started washing some of the baby clothes. We still have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do around the house.

On Saturday morning, we had another elective 3D/4D ultrasound. The last time we got to see baby was at our 22 week anatomy scan. Needless to say, we were excited to see baby with all of her added pudge! Unfortunately, our baby wasn't so cooperative. She spent the first half of the ultrasound curled up in a ball and covering her face with her arms. It took drinking two juice boxes and a bottle of cold water, eating several cookies, walking around the office, and making a trip to the bathroom to get her to budge. We finally got a few good face shots.

Here is our stubborn little girl at 31 weeks 1 day:

Baby...before juice/walking/snacks.

Pouty baby.
Side view of her face. She looks just like I did as a baby!

Sleepy baby.

She is measuring six day ahead (coincidentally, she's measuring at my May 7 dd) and is estimated to be 4lbs 2oz already. No wonder she's starting to feel so heavy! Although you can't see it in the 3D/4D shots, the sonographer said baby has tons of hair! Despite not getting as many great shots as we had hoped, it was a wonderful experience. It was nice having so many family members at the ultrasound. All four of baby's grandparents and her three great-grandmas were all there.

  3. Megan: I'm so excited that you're coming! :D I can't wait!

    Kate: I definitely recommend it! We did our first 3D/4D at 17 weeks (to find out the sex) and the pics turned out great! These ones came out nicely, too!

  4. And oh my gosh - 56 days!? And my ticker says 77 days -- that's SO real. You can really calculate that -- up until now it's been just a big, fat number. You've gotta be as excited/anxious/giddy/nervous as I am!

  5. I know! We're getting soooooo close! Before I hit the 100 day mark, it didn't seem quite as real. Now, I'm 53 days or less than 2 months away from my due date! I'm very excited/anxious/giddy/nervous, too! We could have our babies within days of each together if my little girl is stubborn (late) and your little man is early! Crazy!
