Chunky Monkey


On Monday we had another ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing well.  We were so excited to learn that at 31 weeks 3 days, she was already 4 pounds 13 ounces, and measuring in the 33rd week!
When we began, she had her foot in her face and she was frowning and pouting and looked angry!  As soon as she got her foot out of her face she started smiling though.  We were able to see a lot of her face during the proceedure.  Of course, we think she's beautiful!  She has a very round face with chubby cheeks, and I think she has my lips and Edward's nose.  We could even see that she already has hair on her head--I wonder what color it will be? 
She likes to keep one hand up by her face all the time.  We've never caught her sucking her thumb, but she strokes her own cheek often.  
She's still lying sideways across my belly.  The doctor calls this a transverse lie position.  We're keeping our fingers crossed that she will turn around by the end of the month, but if she doesn't, we might get to meet her a little early!
She is gaining weight quickly now and should gain almost 1/2 a pound a week from here on out!  I think we're going to have a big girl.
I can't believe there are less than 2 months left!
