On a bigger note (no pun intended--you'll see why if you keep reading), we are in the 3rd trimester, folks! This morning we were given another ultrasound woo hoo!! because at my last appointment they told me they lost my first ultrasound...
Oh, that's too bad, I guess I'll see my baby again, *sigh*... :)
She has grown so much in the last 10 weeks, and she is absolutely beautiful and has totally stolen our hearts. We got to see her swallow fluid, stick out her tongue a few times, her eyes open, her arms flailing everywhere, lots of hair, and even at one point she looked right at us and I felt a connection only a mother and her child could have. It was UH-MAZING!
Oh, and the ultrasound tech said she weighs 3.5 lbs and my due date is more like September 3rd!
Excuse me!?
We've got a big girl on our hands! When she told me this I started freaking out a bit...
What about Lindsey's wedding in August in Indiana? We have 2 months until September 3rd, we're soooo not ready!! Ohmygoodness! I'm hyperventilating!!
Ok, it wasn't that bad, ha! It was exciting though to think she'd come around the 3rd, especially since that's Travis' birthday! After we talked with the doctor, she reassured me that the due date is still set for September 19th considering I'm still measuring at 28 weeks and based on my last menstrual cycle. So whether she comes around Travis' birthday or mine (on the 21st), more than one Jonesie is going to have a very Happy Birthday!

ReplyDeleteThank you, you're so sweet--this picture was taken right before we left Florida, 7 in the morning, immediately after waking up....so by you complimenting me that was a huge confidence booster since I felt like I looked like death warmed over (not exactly sure what that phrase means but I felt like it fit here lol!)
