I'm enjoying this time spending time with my husband, friends, and extended family and finishing up Christmas stuff...
We are ready for Christmas and are working to be ready to meet our little girl. As of Friday the 7th she was weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz. all of the text books say about a half lb per week is gained during the last four weeks. That would put her at 8'13 if she makes it to full 40. We will see, but I'm not too terribly worried about a huge baby anymore. I don't think she'll be making double digits...
The doctor at baptist did say she has hair :) kinda surprising but exciting. Hope she likes hair bows! Her proportions are good, she has a slightly big head and long legs, but her abdomen is right at the 50th percentile, meaning there is no increased risk for birth defects.
The school semester is over so before lucie is born I hope to get the house straightened up just a little but more and I think Patrick and I are both hoping to make it through our anniversary on the 19th to have one last nice date before our life changes;) we will see though, because the timing is not our own!! We're sure that whenever she comes it will be the perfect time...
We will continue to keep updating about the progress, but the next few weeks are sure to be a waiting game. Christmas is such a sweet season to be welcoming new life into our home and we are anxious to have that news.
