Emma Update


I had a dr's appointment yesterday and I'll have an appointment every Wednesday from now until she shows up.  I got to have an ultrasound because I hadn't gained any weight and wasn't measuring any bigger from last month (which even though I've seen NO emotion this whole 8 months from my dr he got freaked out about, which freaked me out too), in which we found out that she is just fine!  A good healthy size--she's exactly 6 pounds, and I thought she was supposed to gain a pound a week (which made me want to die), but it's closer to a half a pound a week (an ounce a day is more exact), so that's a lot better.  We tried to have her gender checked again but she was being modest (actually, everything's just so squished together), so J still thinks we're having a boy...whatever.  What we did learn though is that her legs are long (measuring 36 1/2 weeks instead of 36), her head is little (measuring 35 weeks [just like P was...]), her belly's right on what it should be, and there's still a good amount of amniotic fluid inside.  We got to see her face, but the picture is ridiculous in that I can't almost tell it's a person.  If she does look like her picture though, she has J's straight nose (which J HATES), so she might look just like J ("poor kid" -J).  We'll see.  I don't have the scanner hooked up, so I can't post the picture, but maybe (yeah right...)

I haven't started being checked to see how dilated I am (which I was really hoping...), but we've scheduled her induction for 7am on Wednesday, July 6th, but I'm kinda thinking she might be a 4th of July baby--let's be honest, though...I really have no idea.

I took a tour of the hospital last week and asked if they had a jacuzzi I could be in during labor (not when she comes out, just during contractions--it was a dream during P), and they said no, but since I requested it they got a portable tub.  What service!

That's the update!

P.S. That picture was taken yesterday (in front of the stove--super classy, right?), and I'm wearing a shirt I got in Boise last week for $7 at Anthro.

You look fabs! And a fourth of july babes would be so fun (favorite holiday right here). I can't believe you got to find out all that info about her...and all great stuff: small head, long, 6 lbs. Can I please have her? My doctor all guaranteed me that Brighton will be big haha! Hope you're feeling great and seriously can't wait to meet her! Oh and I don't know what you were thinking for baby pics but there's a gal in Rexburg and a gal in Burley that do great and have good prices. I just don't know if I'll make it over for sure until later and let's be honest, I'm not a photographer : ) yet!
