Ultrasound Appointment

Maybe it's true what they say about parents being partial to thinking their kids are the cutest, because after the ultrasound appointment yesterday, Jeff and I couldn't help but feel like the proudest parents of the cutest baby ever!  Perfect little baby feet, kicking legs, a pudgy little belly, arms that twist and punch, cute little baby fists clenched, kissable baby lips, tiny nose, gorgeous little eyes and even cute little ears!  It just looked so picture-perfect and cozy in there.  And just makes us so anxious to meet the little babe.
Here are some pics to prove our point.  I'm sure you'll all agree. ;)

And no, we didn't find out the sex.  We were very good about sticking to our guns and our original plan to choose not to find out the sex.  Which I am very glad about.  But it does give us all the more reason to be anxious for Baby P's arrival, because we truly can't wait to find out what it is and meet the little stinker!

Everything else at the appointment went well.  Doctor says Baby P is looking great and right on track.  They estimated the weight at just a hair over 1 lb.  I tried to find out how much I've gained so far, but they couldn't find what my starting weight was.  If I had to guess, and based on what I weigh now, I think I've gained about10 lbs so far.  Let's hope all that weight stays right in my belly!  :)

At my next appointment I will do the diabetes test....I'm nervous for that one as I am a sugar and carb FREAK.  Just keeping my fingers crossed everything comes back good. 

Baby was in the head-down position yesterday, but they said at this point, it's still too early to get excited about that, as baby can turn around still at any point.  But it's good to at least see it practicing the right position! 

Seems like Baby P is just as active as ever, only now I am really feeling those kicks and punches clearly.  It is all so amazing.  Jeff and I got to witness a little kick-show last night actually!  We were sitting on the couch and I could feel baby moving a lot so I lifted up my shirt to watch my belly and sure enough little pokes were showing thru all over the place.  Jeff and I both got to see it and it was just so neat. 

My baby, the little entertainer....  :)
