Our Girl in 4D!

At our 37 week appointment we had a Growth Ultrasound done. We tend to make big babies in my family, so the doctor's wanted to make sure she wasn't measuring too big. Luckily she is not too big and not too small... she is just PERFECT! We got to see her practice her breathing, yawn and stick out her tongue. Our ultrasound tech told us she is already sucking like a pro! Which makes this mama very happy! You can't tell in the 4D pictures but she has a head full of hair!

We can't wait to meet you little one!!!!

37 Weeks! Full Term!



How far along? 37 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: 28 lbs. as of yesterday...ugh.
Maternity clothes? Of course
Sleep: Off and on
Best moment this week: We got to see the baby girl on the ultrasound yesterday. Patten Lake is weighing in at 7lbspouty lips! We can't wait to meet her!
Movement: There are days when she drives me bonkers with all the wiggling! But I know I will miss it when she decides to vacate.
Cravings:  Cheeseburgers and Cheeseburgers
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: No real contractions yet, but she has "dropped", so that's encouraging!
Belly Button in or out? Still in, and flat. Not sure what it will end up looking like in the end.

I have been just awful about keeping a weekly "picture" log of this pregnancy. Since I am on the last leg of 33 weeks I thought I would post the pictures I do have.
