Little bits

just a quick update on our not-so-little nugget... we had an ultrasound on the 27th and our little girl continues to be both an overachiever and a bit of a diva. she scored perfectly with 8/8 on her biophysical profile which means she's looking healthy. all of the sudden she has chubby cheeks! although with us as her parents, i'm not sure she was going to be able to escape cheeks like that. every time they tried to get a better shot of her face, she'd put a hand or a foot (!!!) in front of her face. funny girl! they believe she is measuring at about six pounds. her due date is still march 5th but we have a feeling that she'll be coming along a bit early.

she has been moving around quite a lot. i call it doing "the worm" as she makes quite large squirmy movements under my ribs that feel like a big worm. she's also poking at other areas of my belly, perhaps trying to be funny? or maybe just curious... she also gets the hiccups about once a day.

thanks to my parents and hubby for their help with the baby's room and the house over the past couple weekends. there was so much to do and we've knocked most of it out. i really needed help because my feet are swollen and i've been trying to keep them up. it's hard to get anything done when you're lying on the couch like a princess!
