We got to see our girl today!

This morning Scott, Paula, and I went to the Dr and had a 4D ultra sound done. She was a little fussy at first, but eventually let us see her sweet face. She likes to sleep with her arms over her face, but the ultra sound tech was able to wake her up and get her to move them and she was not very happy about that. We got to see her yawn, have hiccups, open her eyes, and do all kinds of Olympic style gymnastics moves. We were also able to see that she has a head full of hair! I can't wait to put bows in it! She was weighing in at 3lbs 5 oz today. I think she's going to be at a good healthy weight when she arrives. At one point she got so mad at us for waking her up she did a questionable hand gesture. Scott was so proud :) We all had a good laugh. Only 10 or so more weeks until we get to see this sweet angel again. So who do you think she looks like??

 

 

Arms over her face

Yawning because we woke her up

Eyes open

I guess she was tired of us poking and jostling her around :)

Whew! We passed!

I had my glucose test this morning and after much  prayer and anxiety, I passed the test! I was so relieved. I also had a growth ultra sound this morning and got to see sweet baby girl. She is weighing in at 2lbs and 12 oz right now and her head is measuring 2 weeks ahead. The dr asked who had a big head, I told the her that Macy Claire's daddy had a big smart brain so maybe she got it from him :) Everything looked perfect and we are right on track. I asked what the other measurements were and the dr said 38th percentile. I'm not sure what that means, but he said that is a great place to be right now so I'll take it.  We are moving up to having appts every 2 weeks instead of every 4. She'll be here before we know it! In the picture above you may notice a little ball above her chin. That's her hand. She's waving to us and telling everyone hello! We are going to have a 4D ultra sound next Monday morning. It's my birthday present from Scott :) I'll be sure to post lots of picture and hopefully videos of what this little angel really looks like.

Waiting for Macy Claire

Good Morning Everyone,

I'm starting this blog in hopes of creating a place to update and share with family and friends the progress of our growing little family. Scott and I are over the moon excited about the arrival of our sweet baby girl Macy Claire. She should be here in late May/ early June. For now I'll update you all on the progress of her nursery and other things we've been doing in preparation for her arrival.

Scott has been so great about putting all of her furniture together. I think he's become a real expert at deciphering the complicated instructions that have come with each item. We are waiting on the final piece to the furniture puzzle....the rocking chair. For some reason it has bounced all over this great country, but has not bounced to our front door yet. As soon as we get it we will be able to finally arrange her room.

I've already started nesting and washing her little clothes. Her cousins Danielle, Emily and  Hannah Grace have been so sweet and given us lots of there baby clothes to use. They are so small and precious. It has been so much fun going through them and remembering all the sweet times I had with those girls. I'm so thankful that Macy Claire is going to have 6 first cousins to grow up with and make lots of new fun memories with!

Our next Dr.'s appointment is March 11 and I'm having my glucose test. Everyone keep your fingers crossed I pass with flying colors. If you know me, you know the sight of needles makes me ill. I'm so worried about not passing and having to do the 3 hour test and have my blood taken 4 times! Eek!! We are also having another sonogram so I'll be sure to post pictures. Until then!
