Such a cutie pie

A couple weeks ago I got to go in and have a 4D ultrasound to take a very detailed look at everything and to make sure that my placenta was healthy and still growing.  (For those of you that don't know when I delivered Kyle at 32 weeks my placenta was over 80% dead, which was part of the reason he was so sick, and they were worried because not one of the normal tests showed any sign that there was a problem.). But this time I am being watched down to every little detail to try and keep this little cutie pie growing as long as possible-outside of the NICU. 

But the first time we went in for the ultrasound she would not cooperate for anything, and pretty much kept this hand in front of her the entire time.

Today, I was a little smarter and had Mexican Food for lunch about an hour before my appointment and then bought a Coke Slurpee to drink on the drive there.  I was so happy to see that it worked, and I can't believe how cute this little girl is and how much I already love her.
Apparently she loves chilling out with her hands around her head. It'll be interesting to see if she sleeps like this once she's born.

I love how cuddly she looks in this picture. I can't wait until she can lay her cute head on my shoulder and cuddle like this.

Her little eye popped open for a couple seconds in this picture. If you look in the corner the little back dot is actually her eye.

This picture is a little squeeshy, but oh my goodness she looks just like Kyle did, little button nose and adorable chubby cheeks

She was pretty tuckered out after all our poking and proding and we took this as our signal that she was done having her picture taken for today.  Plus you can see the dark shadows on top of her head-which I'm told her is little hair starting to grow. I have a feeling that she is going to have a fro just like her sister did.

11 more weeks until my goal due date-let's just hope I make it that long.  I can't wait until I can hold this little one.

I hope she hangs in there for you. Shara you are so brave going through these risky pregnancies every time. Good for you.
