I am 35 weeks pregnant today. We finally got to see our precious little baby again!! He or she is now 5 lbs 11 oz, and probably somewhere around 18 inches long. I was surprised at how difficult it was to get a good picture of the baby this time because of how squished up it was! You can see from this photo that the little nose looks like it's squished up against a piece of glass. The baby is head down and today confirmed that the jabs in my left rib are a tiny foot! It was so sweet watching the baby open and close it's mouth and at one point it grabbed it's foot with it's little hand. It had the hiccups too, which was kinda funny to watch. I think the details that ultrasounds reveal are amazing. I could see all 4 chambers of the heart! Fascinating! God is the perfect Creator and Author of Life! Leanne, my ultrasound tech and friend, predicts that if I go to 40 weeks the baby will be about 8.2/8.3 lbs. That's a nice healthy weight, but I'm hoping this little boy or girl decides to come in early October rather than late...like perhaps on October 10th!! (10-10-10, awesome birthday!) I think the baby still has Kevin's chin, which you can't see very well in this picture because the baby's arm was in the way. I also think I see some plump little lips, which would definitely be from Kevin! I can't wait to kiss that little face, hold those little fingers, and just love on my baby boy or girl!!
