33 Weeks

Lil W's pictures:

Not a great ultrasound pic...but the baby is looking at the "camera" and giving a wave! (The baby's face is on the right side..his/her eye sockets are the black circles)


Look at that long leg!!!!!! And mommy knows right where that foot ends...right under my right rib!

Our little peanut is 33 weeks as of yesterday! He/She is 2 weeks older than Abigail was when she was born, so that's such great news. And what a difference even 2 days makes! I had an ultrasound done at 31 weeks 4 days (Abigail was born at 31 weeks 2 days) and the baby was already weighing 3lbs 10 oz...1/2 a lb more than when Abigial was born. So we should already be over 4 lbs since the baby gains about 1/2 a lb a week now, which is the magic NICU number (babies can't go home before they weigh 4 lbs..Abigail went home the day she hit 4 lbs). Lil W's stomach was measuring small..but it has measured consistantly small so they said it will just be a skinny baby. They also said the baby's legs are measuring a week ahead of the rest of the body, so it's going to be very long and skinny! I'm pretty sure both my kids will be taller than me before they start high school!

We are so excited to meet the final piece of our family puzzle! We are so grateful that we are this far along and we have been given this blessing! We know that this little peanut is one of our 2 biggest blessings in our life!

Countdown...7 weeks till we'll meet Lil W!!!!!!
