Week 17: Seeing our little Angel

What an exciting week Kevin, Baby and I have had this week (so exciting I had no time to even look at my blog).  Our ultrasound and monthly check-up appointments just so happened to align with our 3rd anniversary.  Talk about a priceless anniversary gift!!!

Labor Day weekend had us taking our chalkboard picture a day late, lining up with our ever exciting first Seminole Gameday of the year. 

So, in addition to a turnip, Kevin wanted to take a special edition picture.

We had a relatively low-key anniversary considering we celebrated at Disney a couple weeks back.  We actually were going out to dinner two days after our actual anniversary to celebrate, but we had probably one of the worst thunderstorms we've had all year.  Both of us dressed up nicely, by the time we got in the car we were so soaked we decided to nix the dinner plans and order some Carrabba's takeout (which is NEVER a bad idea!).

But enough about Kevin and I!!! We have a beautiful Baby Girl to discuss!

Kevin and I had been looking forward to this day for the last month since we scheduled the appointment (well, since our last ultrasound really). I was happy that with a last minute invitation both of my parents were able to attend as well.

It was such an incredible experience to get to see every part of her body. Her complex spine, her beating heart (159 bpm, to be exact), her wiggling toes, her dainty fingers.

But I think I fell most in love the moment I saw her beautiful profile. It we perfect timing.. Kevin managed to record her trying to stick her thumb in her mouth (missing a few times and poking her little nose). You could even make out her suckling.  Words cannot describe this feeling. I am just so ready to hold her!!

Apparently our Lil Princess is rather stubborn, to which my Mom, Dad, and Kevin all snickered about her being like her Mom. She refused to re-situate herself in there, so the ultrasound tech was unable to get a few critical images.  I'll hear from my doctor next week to see if we need to come back in for another ultrasound. I won't complain to have another opportunity to see our Lil Princess.

One major thing I noticed this week was my pants.  I have been opting to wear dresses a lot more recently, but a couple of events this week called for some slacks (there's only so many dresses you can repeat in a matter of a couple of weeks!).  Obviously reaching for my most comfortable pair, I realized that not only can I not button them, but the rubber band trick no longer works! I literally could not zip them one centimeter.  I guess a pair of maternity black slacks will be in order for my next shopping trip!
