27 Weeks


A lot has happened in the past few weeks....John got to feel the baby kick for the first time, the nursery was painted, and we had two ultrasounds. The first ultrasound was on March 7 with the perinatologist. The perinatologist, or maternal fetal medicine specialist, confirmed that our baby girl's growth is on target overall. He took measurements of her arms, legs, waist, and head, but failed to acknowledge that she is the most beautiful and perfect baby that he has ever seen...an inadvertent oversight, I am sure.

The second ultrasound was on March 14 at a local 3D/4D ultrasound center. Allison's mom came in town for this ultrasound and we all enjoyed watching the baby move around, yawn, stick out her tongue, and suck her thumb. Even though the baby managed to keep her hands in front of her face for pretty much the whole ultrasound, she forgot to keep her legs crossed, so we were able to confirm that she is indeed, a girl.

Dear Allison, as the mother of 3 girls, I can confirm that this is a wonderful, beautiful princess!!! I have not read any mention of pink! I fought it on the first one but have now surrendered.....and so has Brad! As far as the pets go, they will love the thousands of naked Barbies they get to drag to the back yard and tear to smithereens!
