34 weeks

 

we just had our last ultrasound this week.  it is always so fun to see her, and she has definitely grown a lot. when the ultrasound tech told us that she weighs 5 1/2 pounds, andrew and i were so surprised! even though that's average--they said 58th percentile, it just seemed like so much. 5 1/2 pounds is a mostly grown baby! in fact my mom weighed more than a pound and a half LESS than that when she was born!!  it makes it feel more real and kind of makes me panic because we still need to get a lot ready. she is also head down, so it sounds like we won't have to worry about that.

her stats:

age: 6 weeks til birthday!!
weight: 5.5 lbs
length: 17 in. (approximate)
heartbeat: 136 bpm
name: unknown
gender: female
quirk: gets hiccups frequently

my stats:

feeling: happy + excited + exhausted + large
back pain: constant
weight gain: 25 lbs.
stretch marks: none yet
belly button: still an innie
sleeping: okay but a little uncomfortable
movements: still feel a lot but they are getting more muffled, and more painful
quirk: i am boycotting going to the movie theater til after this baby's born. it is so miserable because   i just can't get comfortable..
due date: february 8


p.s. if you want a sneak peek at the little lady, here's her profile:

can you see it? we aren't sure where she got those big lips, but andrew's calling her angelina jolie...
