Your father and I went for our monthly check up today.  Everything looks really good!  We got to see you on the sonogram again…it was pretty amazing that we could both tell how much you’ve grown just in the 4 weeks since our last appointment!  Your arm and leg bones are longer and you just looked bigger overall.

We confirmed yet again that you are a girl.  And like every other time, you were VERY active.  You were moving around so much that they had trouble getting you to sit still long enough to hear your heartbeat.  We also got to see you fold up into the shape of a U and play with your toes.  I guess you’ve gotta do something to keep yourself entertained in there.  The nurse said “oh, the active ones grow up to be leaders, not followers”.  I had to politely explain to her that there were already two very strong leaders in our household and that adding a third would be challenging for everyone involed.  🙂

You weighed in at over a pound and are measuring about 11 inches long.  I can definitely feel you moving around these days; everytime you move it makes me smile.  I am going to have to start  sleeping on my side now which is less than thrilling for me since I am a full time back sleeper.  It’s officially the beginning of the many sleepless nights to come.
