Jan. 8th, 20wks.
If you didn't notice the change in the header
of the website, we found out we're having
a girl!! So very exciting. Little Ella looked
perfect. She weighs 13 ounces, right on
target for her due date. She was pretty
much settled in for a nap, so we only saw
her move her arms and feet a little. The
ultrasound technician was actually running
a half an hour late. If we had gone in on
time I think we would have seen her move
a lot more. We were almost afraid we wouldn't
get to find out the gender because her feet
were in the way, but she eventually moved
them and the tech got a peek.
The doctor said I'm doing good. I gained
only 3 pounds in the last 4 weeks. Pretty
good considering the holidays were in those
4 weeks.
I have another regular appointment on February
the 9th. Isaac and I are hoping to do the
4D ultrasound later in February. Then we'll
really be able to see what Ella looks like.
And now for the pictures. I'm only putting
up two... they're the best of the lot we
got.
Here
is her profile. To the left is
her head, nose, lips, and her
right hand is up by her cheek.
Then to the right is her torso.
Her
footprint. Such precious little
feet will eventually keep me up
at night.
