Update on Baby Girl

SHE HAS ALREADY INHERITED HER MAMA'S CHUBBY CHEEKS AND HER DADDY'S BALD HEAD. 

I'VE BEEN HAVING ALL OF THESE CRAZY DREAMS LATELY THAT THE DOCTOR TELLS ME THAT IT'S A BOY. SO, AT OUR ULTRASOUND TODAY I MADE SURE THE TECH DOUBLED CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NOTHING DECIDED TO POP OUT AND GROW DOWN THERE. I WAS A TAD WORRIED SINCE ALL WE HAVE IS PINK EVERYTHING FOR HER, BUT SHE IS STILL A GIRL. WHEW!

IT'S AMAZING HOW FAST THEY GROW AND THE THINGS THEY DEVELOP JUST IN BETWEEN THE FEW WEEKS OF ULTRASOUNDS. THIS ULTRASOUND WAS BY FAR THE COOLEST. SHE WAS AWAKE DURING IT SO YOU COULD SEE HER EYES BLINKING AND SHE WAS BLOWING BUBBLES. THEY DRINK THE FLUID SO WHILE SHE WAS DRINKING IT WAS MAKING BUBBLES. THEY ALSO LOOKED TO SEE IF SHE HAD HAIR, BUT SO FAR SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY (JUST LIKE HER DADDY) 

 SHE ALSO KEPT GIVING US SMILES. SHE'S THE SWEETEST LITTLE THING. SHE'S WEIGHING IN AT A WHOPPING 3LBS 13 OZ. SHE HAS BEEN MEASURING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, BUT TODAY THE DOC SAID SHE HAD SLOWED DOWN AND IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE FOR HER DUE DATE. I'VE HAD MY HOPES UP THAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SHAVE OFF A FEW WEEKS. 9 MONTHS IS A LONG TIME TO BE PREGO!! I NEVER REALIZED HOW HARD IT IS TO ACTUALLY GROW ANOTHER PERSON AND THE TOLL IT TAKES ON YOUR BODY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THESE CRAZY (I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THEM)THINGS THAT MAKE ME LOOSE MY VISION, MAKE ME DIZZY, AND ALMOST MAKE ME PASS OUT. SO THE DOC TOLD ME THAT SEVERAL THINGS ARE CAUSING THEM. 1: LITTLE MISS ESCHLER IS SITTING SO FAR IN MY BACK THAT SHE SITS HER CHUNKY BUM ON A MAJOR BLOOD VESSEL OF MINE. 2: MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS BEEN DROPPING TO LOW. 3: THE MUSCLE IN MY DIAPHRAGM THAT KEEPS MY FOOD DOWN IS STRETCHED SO FAR THAT IT'S NOT DOING ITS JOB. SO, IT'S CAUSING ME TO BE SICKER THEN I EVER WAS IN MY FIRST TRIMESTER. 4: I'M NOT EATING ENOUGH. THIS ONE IS HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE I CAN CLEAR ANY PLATE AND TREVOR'S WITH NO PROBLEM THESE DAYS. HE PUT ME ON SOME MEDS THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HELP BECAUSE THESE AREN'T FUN TO EXPERIENCE. 

TREVOR HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST SWEETIE DEALING WITH ALL MY COMPLAINING OF ACHES AND PAINS. HE PUTS MY SOCKS AND SHOES ON FOR ME AND EVEN RUBS MY BACK. TODAY, HE ARRANGED FOR A FRIEND AND I TO GO GET PEDICURES SINCE I CAN NO LONGER REACH MY FEET TO DO IT MYSELF. BEST PART OF ALL, HE DID IT ALL BY HIMSELF. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO DROP HINTS. HE'S PRETTY MUCH AMAZING!
