Growing and Growing

This picture is a good 4 wks old. I am 19 wks here. I love wearing jean skirts and found one that fit and wasn't too short for school. The problem - the belly's stretchy stuff only worked until 8:30. I had to keep yanking it up the rest of the day. It wasn't pretty when I got home!

We had the "big" ultra sound a couple weeks ago and it was fun. The tech really explained what she was looking at. At the end her computer froze and almost lost the whole thing. I wouldn't have minded seeing the baby if she had to redo it, but felt sorry for her since it was a Friday at 5:15 already!

This is my favorite picture. They tried to get some 3-D ones, but the baby was facing my back and upside down. No matter how hard she shoved into my side - it didn't come out very good. We didn't look for any specific body parts and the heartbeat continues to be in the upper 150s to 160s. The measurements all all good. The size could have moved the due date up a couple days, but the doctor said it probably is a better indicator that we are on our way to another 8-9 pounder!

the only "good" ultrasound pic we ever got was at about 2 months when she was only a dot. the rest were quite disappointing.

Looking good, my friend. We will probably have our second to last ultrasound today when we go the doctor. I don't think they will amuse me with any more ultrasounds after we get to the States...which is today 18 days from now if you are on the countdown. We leave Van in 16 days, and will stay in Istanbul two days. We did that in case of inclement weather here, which has bit us a few times before! We don't want to miss our international flight!! Anyway, can't wait to see you soon. Oh, I wanted to tell you, we probably won't leave Iowa until April 13th, so as long as the baby isn't late, we hopefully will get to see him or her!!
