We went for our checkup and sonogram today.  You were just as active as ever in there and still have an affinity for your feet.  We got a couple of good sonogram pics of you playing with your feet and toes and she even got one pic of just your foot and calf.  She measured your foot at my request and it was just over 6mm long….they’re growing fast!  You’ve also turned over since the last time we saw you – are are now head down – just one step closer to making your arrival!  She said it also looks like you are sporting a full head of hair in there.  Given my hair situation at birth (see pics) this did not surprise me much…I just hope you have lighter hair like your father.  This being a girl with super dark and thick body hair is not always so much fun.  🙂  Oh, and she did a 3-D image – even though you weren’t exactly cooperating (your hands and feet are always up around your face) it seemed to me that you had a cute little button nose…we’ll see if that holds true once you get here.

After the sonogram we met with Dr. Carmichael.  Looks like you are running about a week big right now and given the fact that neither your father or I are small people she seems to think it’s more realistic to expect you to arrive somewhere between 38 & 40 weeks.  That means you could be here as early as mid-May!  That’s only a little over 7 weeks away!!!  Good thing your father and I are planners as we’ve got most everything ready to go. Now we just need to focus on packing a hospital bag, finalizing everything in the nursery, and finding a daycare!  Everyone is SUPER anxious to meet you!
