She's Still a Girl

The next time you are at the market, swing by the fruit section, stop at the cantaloupe and think to yourself...that's how big Hannah is. I'm not sure why baby's size is constantly compared to food items, but it helps us visualize I guess. It feels like yesterday we were coming home from our first appointment and Tim took a grain of rice and placed it on our coffee table. That's how big she was at the time. I am currently 21 1/2 weeks and we had another appointment today. The placenta issue is looking okay at the moment, but he said we won't really know until 32 weeks. One good thing about having this issue is that we get lots of ultrasounds and I love seeing her. Today she was a stinker and decided to sleep face down the whole time. We are still being told she's a girl and the proof is below. Total weight gain so far is only 2 lbs, but I've definitely added more than two inches to my waist. I feel really good and am enjoying every minute. I also love our doctors. They are both kind, patient, and spend a great deal of time with us every visit. One is from Sweeden and one is from Africa. We feel so confident in their abilities as their speciality is high risk pregnancies and they are just so nice. I must say though I think the advantage to a female doctor is that they probably capture better ultrasound pictures. Not sure men know how important these are for the scrapbook. The one's below are not great, but still special to us.


*This is the proof that she is a girl. Below the tiny arrow is her foot print.


*She was sleeping on her stomach the whole time so this is a picture of her spine and rib cage. Not sure why he cut her head off in the picture.
