Day 42 - Yawning and Dimples

We had an ultrasound today to determine how big this kid is going to be.  A month ago she was measuring HUGE.  Today she was nice and normal.  Apparently Mom's diet is helping both of us out.  They figure she is about 4 lbs 12 oz right now.  If she gains 1/2 oz a week like she's supposed to that'll put her at 7 lbs 12 oz on March 26th when my c-section is scheduled.  At that point she will only be 5 days early so not too bad.  All of her measurements were right around the 50th percentile.  Hooray for an average baby! 

My blood pressure was great. I've gained 1.3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. No swelling.  My blood sugar is good other than a few incidents involving baby shower cake and a Cinnamelt from McDonald's. 

The best part of the day was that she finally decided to show us part of her little face. Her head is pressed up against the placenta and  the umbilical cord was floating around by her face,  I'm not going to complain though because usually she has her hands in front of her face. It looks like she might have the same dimple in her cheek that both Ben and Sam have.  She even yawned so we know she has a tongue. I'm sure Sam will be teaching her to blow raspberries before we know it.
