million dollar baby

check out those cheeks! the smushed nose, the big lips. i'm trying to remember what the mailman looks like & if she takes after him? just kidding. her hand looks a little gnarly but it was a 3-d photo so the ultrasound tech said it will look like that with a 3-d. but even if her hand comes out gnarly, she's already so loved. she's also in the 65% percentile, the dr. estimated a 7 1/2 lb. baby.

and we all know how accurate those estimates are.

but still, it was reassuring that she's measuring great, this was right around when caleb stopped growing so it's nice to hear his sister is not following in his footsteps.

other than that we verified that this girl is in fact a girl. so now the countdown begins! weekly appointments, cervical checks. all the fun.

we're getting all prepared here. thanks to some fantastic friends & family we have enough clothes for the little lady, a bassinet all set up, and a baby shower on saturday.

after that all i need is for someone else to take over my body during labor and we're good to go!

Wow! Adorable! I need one of those kinds of ultra sounds. Our kid still looks all hollow and scary looking. Hooray. SO excited for you!

What a sweet ultrasound!!!! I'm jealous! Also jealous the end is so near for you. I'm not looking forward to waddling for the next 8 weeks.

Oh my goodness...she's a cutie! The best part about being a doula is that no matter what kind of pregnancy and labor the mom has, they forget it all the second that baby is born and feel nothing but joy and love for that sweet baby. I love it! And considering we can make an actual baby in 9 months that will live forever and have a personality and life and deliver them usually within a portion of a day, it's not too bad, eh?! Just think of it that way. I'm sure everything will be fine. Best of luck with the next few weeks!
