day two/365. look closely at my ankle, apparently i am retaining some fluid for there to be such a crater left after pushing for...well, i did it for like an hour. ouch.
last time we had an ultrasound she was being shy and kept her hand up in front of her face the whole time-so we didn't get any good 4-d photos or a good look at her features. this time the doctor was determined to get some fun shots-he had me rolling all over, bouncing on the side of my belly (totally safe) and all around acting silly trying to get her to show her face. it worked! oh em gee, she is sooo cute-she looks just like tim (well, she has his nose for sure!). she has huge lips, and the most adorable 'just waiting for me to kiss' chubby cheeks. we could also see TONS of hair floating around in there-which is no surprise, both the girls had tons of hair.
the other thing we looked at was her size...this has always been at the back of our minds since...wait for it...zoe was 9.5 lbs and rowan was 10.5 lbs. ok, fine i have big babies. anyway, at the last scan appointment the tech made us feel like we had nothing to worry about that she would be right between 7 and 8 lbs-perfect. well....she is already 8 lbs. and at this point they gain around a 1/2 a pound a week. the doctor was a little worried and told me he would pass his concerns onto doctor paley. we won't go into details, but there is a lot that goes along with having larger babies in terms of 'trauma' and 'recovery' and 'other stuff' haha. so, we're back on big baby watch. my doctor's nurse did call this morning and say that on monday at my weekly check we would do another scan and then talk about scheduling my induction after thursday (39 weeks) in case she doesn't come by then.
so, here is our adorable chubby little girl. who do you think she looks like?

She totally looks like Tim! (Well all the pics I've seen of him!) Good luck with everything. I'm sure she'll be out soon!!
Oh Em Gee!!! Tim jr. I LOVE The cheeks. But i'm not sure they'll compare to Kaiden's. He may have her beat. =P We'll see after I'm able to bite them....er kiss them.. in comparison.
