I am just shy of 38 weeks pregnant, and I am dying to know what this little girl inside of me looks like. We had an ultrasound today to assess her growth. (I was measuring a bit small at my weekly checkup yesterday, and the doctor ordered one.) While I was worried about her growth, I was also secretly thrilled to get another glimpse of my peanut who I haven’t seen on camera since our 19-week ultrasound.
Thankfully she is on track with her growth and development. If anything, she is on the big side! And I got to see, for a few seconds anyway, a glimpse of her pudgy little face! We have a photo of it, and though I am back at work now, I can’t stop pulling the photo out of my purse to stare at her.
I know come three weeks from now, I will be yearning for a break from her so I can squeeze in a cat nap, but right now, all I want is to see her face and touch her hand.
Having recently gone through the registering process and having also recently had a baby shower thrown in my honor, I feel like I have been given some crucial information, and that is that original, creative baby shower gifts rock! Don’t get me wrong–I am so grateful for any gift from anyone. This is our first baby, and we are starting from scratch. So anything we got will be used and is much appreciated. Our friends and family are too generous!
