7...

Our little peanut isn't so little! At my sonogram appointment on Friday, the tech told us she weighs a whopping 4 pounds 9 ounces already. We still have 7 weeks to go and she has approximately 4 more pounds to gain. I was hoping for a 6 pounder! But, it was reassuring to know she is growing and growing well. My in-laws are certain she will have "their" nose. (I know I'm bias but she does have an extremely cute nose). In a short amount of time we will no longer be guessing who she looks like.

We had two baby showers this weekend and came home with a brand new wardrobe for the peanut, along with some other generous gifts. Her crib is piled high with the clothes that need to be washed but with another shower to go, I figured I'd wait and do it all at once. The dog is perplexed at all of the new items in "his" room and he even tried to claim a small pink bear as his. Thankfully, it was retrieved without much harm.

My belly is certainly getting bigger and she has been pretty active the last two days, not that she isn't always active but particularly active these last two. You can tell she is running out of room in there. Her little nudges and pokes are quite sharp. The Braxton Hicks contractions, while not excruciating, are happening more frequently and after a couple are quiet uncomfortable. But, I know they are nothing compared to the real deal.

7 short weeks away...
