Baby Girl's Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound last night and everything is looking good. It was so amazing to see her!! I've not had an ultrasound this late in my pregnancy before, so to see how much she had grown and changed since three months ago was truly awesome! She is still a girl (whew--we can keep all the girl clothes out!) and she's head down. Although not completely accurate, she is measuring 5 pounds 15 ounces!! I still have about six weeks left and I thought I read somewhere that the baby gains about a half pound a week?? If that's true, I'm looking at another nine pounder! Yikes!! But, the technician did say that I was measuring more like 35 1/2 to 36 weeks, putting my due date at August 2nd instead of the 10th. I like that a lot better! I go back to my doctor on the 13th, so we'll see what he says. In the meantime, enjoy these new pictures we got last night. They are both of her face. The top of her head is on the right and her face is sideways. The picture on the left you can mainly see her forehead (and what I like to imagine is a head full of dark hair--haha!). The one on the right you can see her nose, lips, and chin. Part of her face is obscured by the placenta in both of them. I just think she's the most beautiful little girl ever...but I'm not biased or anything! ;)
