Weighing in at a whopping 11 ounces....


While I try to figure out how to scan and upload our ultrasound pics, these updates will have to do.  Here is the baby bump at Week 19 (?).  Apparently there is now a question of just how far along I am because of the size of our baby girl on the ultrasound yesterday.  They were estimating that she weighs close to 11 ounces already.  The average for this time period is only 8.5-9 ounces, so we are already scoring higher than average! Yes!  Because of that, they may move our due date forward a week or so, but we'll see. In any event, we can say that this is the baby bump at 5 months- that's a good estimation. Just ignore my messy bathroom in the background behind me. :)  Some exciting news: we saw two arms, two legs, two sides of the brain, two kidneys, 4 chambers of the heart, one stomach, one diagphram, one very long spinal cord, two feet, two hands and two thumbs being sucked! The ultrasound took nearly 45 minutes because the little girl just couldn't hold still for the pictures! She was flip-flopping all over the place, but always managed to find her hand or thumb again.  Also in the picture down below is the adorable, cuddly little rabit, courtesy of Grandma Bonnie and Papa Ted and the flannel blanket from Great-Grandma.  All we need is our little bundle to snuggle up with and rock to sleep!
