33 Weeks

Ultrasounds are amazing! I was lucky to have another ultrasound last week. I am 33weeks along and while normally they don't do another ultrasound this far into the pregnancy, they had one follow up question. Happily every thing is great! Our baby girl is as cute as can be from what I can tell. (To me the screen looks like a black and white blur.) She is a wiggler--a gymnast in the womb. The ultrasonographer even verified she has a little bit of hair (isn't that amazing that they can tell details like that?!). It is so exciting to think about another little person coming into our family. We are all excited. I feel like I have been pregnant a long time but still can't really imagine her being here. It is a little overwhelming to think about. The other morning I was so tired and laying in bed with both kids literally jumping on top of me when Bruce said "Bye. Have a good day. I am off to work." I thought, "and how am I going to do this with another one to take care of too?" I know many moms have paved the way before me. It must be do-able but I am so tired right now thinking about it. Despite that, the excitement and anticipation of having our little gymnast out of my tummy and in our arms is truly thrilling.

A note to our sweet little girl:

Sweet little girl you are loved and very much wanted in our family...if only we had a name for you. We are really stumped. For now you are baby #3...it's a girl! Here is a picture from the ultrasound. None of the pictures of your cute face were, well...cute. You were hiding too much behind your hands. But this is a great shot of your leg. The most adorable little leg I can imagine. Your brother and sister and Mom and Dad can't wait to hold you. I hope you have enjoyed all the hugs and kisses and conversations that Jonny and Autumn have already bestowed on you. Right now Jonny and Autumn claim that they will share all their toys with you and love and protect you always. You can hold them to that promise.
