sleepy head.

well, miss hayes had a huge dance party at her "house" last night.  she partied from about 9:00pm until the wee hours of the morning with barely any breaks.  big party.  so, needless to say, even the cup of caffeinated coffee that i gave her this morning didn't wake her up for our sonogram.  so no good pics.  the tech tried everything to wake her up and get her moving so we could get her head in a good spot for a clear face-shot, but no luck.  i guess it doesn't matter - that's not why we were there, but the good news is, we'll get to see her again in about 4 weeks!  the (kinda) bad news is that we'll get to see her again in about  4 weeks.  ha.  my placenta is about .2 mm shy of where they want it to be to "clear" me.  so we'll check it again.  the tech said there was no doubt that by 4 weeks it will have moved .2 mm - such a tiny tiny ways left to go (they want it at 2mm from my cervix and mine is at 1.8mm right now).  and actually, as it is right now my dr. said she would still let me go through with a regular delivery and not worry with a c-section, but we're still going to take another peek at her and i'm pretty excited to see her again!  other than being fast asleep, she was just perfect.  her little organs are all doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.  she weighs 2 pounds and 5 ounces which is right on target.  i have plenty of amniotic fluid which is always great.  trey and i were so excited to see her, hear her little heartbeat, and are still amazed & feeling blessed to be carrying another healthy little girl.  oh, that's another thing we definitely confirmed today - it's for sure a girl=)

best shot (27.5 week profile): 

cozy, cozy, cozy.  she's been snoozing all day.  

here is a shot of her big sis at 20 weeks....

maybe we could see a resemblance if hayes had turned her head.  maybe she'll be awake for our next peek at her.  another good thing about having another ultra sound is that it's really the only way for them to know her true weight.  i like knowing that she's already 2 lbs 5 oz!  

and although i hit a big growth spurt over the past week and feel like a cow, my weight is right on target too, which was nice to hear.  3 weeks from today i'll have my second glucose screening so back on my "no refined sugar" diet i go!  after lent ended i allowed myself a few little treats here and there, but the less processed foods and sugars the better off i'll be. 

12.5 weeks to go!
