Dear Jorie,
Today, Your Father and I got to see your face for the first time. We had an ultrasound scheduled to check on your growth and on those nasty fibroids that caused so much trouble a while back.
You are measuring right on track, and weigh 5 lbs. 1 oz. You still have a bit of growing to do before you're ready for the outside world! It was a huge relief to me that you were measuring normally, it lessens the chance that they'll need to induce me early. I would prefer you got the chance to come out on your own terms.
You are head down already, which I suspected based on where the strongest kicks are (near my ribs.) The ultrasound tech walked us through where all your parts were, confirming that you have your feet wedged firmly in my ribs.
The big surprise today was the 3d ultrasound. We wern't expecting them
to do one, but they did. They had to try a few times to get a good
picture of you, since as usual you were moving and shaking around in
there. But after a few tries, we got to see the most beautiful sight.
I can't believe how big you are already, and how much you really finally look like a real baby.
Not too much longer now, baby girl. Can't wait to kiss those adorable cheeks.
