Ultrasound update

Happy Friday, all. We had an ultrasound done this morning (for lack of anything better to do) and got the below face picture from it. For our enjoyment, the doctor put a buzzer against my belly so we could see her blink in reaction to it. In case you're confused, you need to turn your head to the right and then you can see her right eye, then make out the nose, mouth, etc. Everything looked normal and healthy - there is plenty of amniotic fluid in there for her to practice breathing (which we also witnessed this morning) - and her head and body is exactly where our midwife Kelley told us it was. Kelley guessed yesterday by using her hands that she was about 9 lbs. The radiologist guessed today using various ultrasound measurements that she's about 8lbs 14 oz. A lot of consensus here!

Which leads me to some other good news - she is definitely a girl!!
