It's a Girl..... AGAIN!!

Well, yesterday was another ultrasound day. Always exciting when we get to see our little one on the screen. It has been confirmed (for about the 4th time) that it is still a girl. So, here are a few of the stats:
- she weighs approx 5 lbs 7 oz
- she is measuring exactly on her due date
- her head is already really low (not engaged quite yet)
- her head is measuring in the 50th percentile (YEAH, we won't have a big head baby)

While the ultrasound was being done, little Sarah got the hiccups. We were able to see it on screen and it also showed she was still practicing her breathing in between hiccups. The sonographer said this was very impressive to see because it shows great brain development. It tells them that despite the fact she had the hiccups, she was still practicing breathing (as opposed to holding her breath). Oh yeah - another piece of good news... I have gained 2 pounds this week. This puts my total weight gain at 7 pounds now :-)

At my next appt (the Mon after Thanksgiving), I will be getting the strep B test done as well as the dr doing the first cervix check. This appt will be my 36 week. It's too bad they cannot tell us when approx the baby will come. They just come (or don't - hahaha) whenever they want to. They must like to keep everyone in suspense and the anticipation growing :-)
