Sweet and Chunky GIRL!

Last week was our big anatomy scan and everything looks great. In fact, our newest little princess has really started growing and where most babies weigh around 10.5 ounces at this stage, she's weighing in at a whopping 13oz! And legs!! She's got looooong and skinny legs! I'm already so in love. Our little turkey was a bit uncooperative however, and I'm hoping it's because she's lazy and not another strong-willed child who does what she wants - when she wants. I have two of those already...this mama needs a break!

After the appointment, I saw my regular doctor who said that everything was absolutely perfect. I thought about that later. About how I never had a perfect pregnancy without some kind of hurdle or obstacle to overcome. With Skylar, at this same scan they found cysts on her brain and a kidney problem known as hydronephrosis. With Bryce, I had hyperthyroidism and had to see a cardiologist for fear that my pregnancy was causing too much pressure and hypertension. This just feels so surreal. She's been a blessing from the very beginning. No fertility issues and countless tears thinking I'd never get pregnant - nope, God just gave her to me. And now, a healthy pregnancy?! I say all of the time how blessed I feel but truly, I can't possibly express the amount of thankfulness I have to serve such a powerful and gracious God. My cup runneth over.

So here's a pic of our little butterball. Like I said, she was being a bit uncooperative and only wanting to smash her face right up against my placenta so getting a clear picture was a bit of a challenge. Keep staring at it, you'll see her...and she looks mighty sweet! I LOVE HER!
