33 wks

we had an ultrasound appt with our normal checkup at 33 weeks because the doctor wanted to be sure that the cysts that were spotted in her brain at 18-23 weeks were completely gone. with God's blessings they are completely gone and we have one healthy girl on our hands. the technician very graciously flipped it into 3d and gave us these wonderful pics of our little one on the way.

every ultrasound we have had she has had her hands up by her face so this is no exception. these were the other bits of info we were told at our ultrasound:

she is currently 4lb 12oz and if born full term she will be a little over 7 lbs. the technician said "she has a beautiful heart" which was referring to how perfectly formed it was, but i take that two ways :-). her belly was full at the appt and the tech said "oh she must have just eaten" :-). the lady also said she can tell that she has hair- not in the 3d but in the 2d- which we were surprised she was able to tell. we weren't surprised that she had hair since that runs in my family. the one thing that mildly surprised us is that she is currently in breech position. but she has some time to turn on her own, which they said most will do. which explains the amazingly sharp sensations i have been getting very low and the probing in my ribs, as her feet are down and her head is in my ribs. they will check at 36 weeks to see if she has flipped. if not they said they will talk to us about manually flipping her or c-section. but like they said she has a few weeks to make the transition on her own so we shall see.

 i love her little pout in this pic. it was the last one, she was probably sulking because we had been messing with her so long :-). the technician said "she is a beautiful baby" which of course we could've told her without seeing her, but of course we are a little biased.  we cannot wait to meet her soon but we have been so fortunate to see her along the way as much as we have. i had a dream that i was going to have her may 15 instead of may 29. so everyone keep the prayers coming as we could have a sweet girl in our arms anywhere from 4-7 weeks from now!
