2 Weeks 5 Days - Too Short and Too Long

I'm still here. I'm still pregnant. This has actually been a fairly good pregnancy. I've been struggling with a cold lately, thus the sudden drought in posting. But, I feel fabulous now, thanks to modern medicine. At 32 weeks I was measuring big (4 weeks big to be precise) so they sent me in for an ultrasound. There they told me the baby was measuring in the 50th percentile (ya right!) and was right on time. So, let's just say that I've never had a good experience with ultrasounds and I don't trust them at all. And they'll admit they can be up to a pound off. (We'll just take it for granted that every time they do an ultrasound on me they are most likely to be a pound off.) It wasn't a complete waste of my time though because I did get to see the baby.

The girls are SO excited for the baby to come. Meredith can't stop talking about it. I told her she was having a friend come over and she says, "Oh (very disappointed), I want the baby to come." And other times she says, "the baby's going to come and see me." The girls loved this picture. Emily thought it was so funny that she was blowing bubbles. ;)

Here's her face. She still doesn't have a name. We were not so indecisive with our other two girls. We have a couple names we've tossed a few names back and forth. The two most common being Rebekah and Kristina, but I won't be surprised if we end up bringing home a baby named something else completely. We do have some other names on our list that we're not sure if we really like or not.

In the bottom two pictures you can see a lot of fuzziness on the top of her head. The ultrasound tech said the baby has lots of hair. It doesn't really look like we're having a bald baby. :) Not that any of my babies have been bald.

Now that it's nearing the end of the pregnancy people are always asking, "when is the baby due", "how much longer", "ready for the baby?" and I'm thinking "Ahhhh! Don't remind me. I have a to-do list a mile long that I'd like to get through before the baby gets here." It's not just at church though. Precious Meredith is asking all the time, "when is the baby coming", "Is the baby coming?" It definitely makes me a little eager to be done when I'm being asked all the time, which is going to make the pregnancy too long. On the other hand, I still want to hang up pictures and things in the baby's room, make freezer meals, clean out closets, etc. making the rest of this pregnancy way too short.

On the plus side, I'm no longer measuring 4 wks big. :) They told me on Monday (was that really only 4 days ago?) that I was measuring at 38 wks.
