Week 38. Oh so close!

We saw the doctor week before last and while scanning our final ultrasound, the tech did a presto chango and this image popped up. We got to see baby girl in 3D!! She looks a little smooshed but just look at those lips. I can't wait to get my hands on this little one and give her all the loves I've got. I know it's rough to see the real her even with such amazing technology but it's fun to have the picture and see that she appears healthy and thriving. I'm so very blessed to have this opportunity. An opportunity that, at one time, seemed unfathomable. This pregnancy has flown by and while I have loved carrying her, I'm anxious to finally meet her. And quite possibly even put my shoes on without a grunt and groan. 

 Here I am at 38 1/2 weeks. Several people have mentioned that I look like I've dropped but I didn't have the heart to tell them that the doctor says she's still sitting pretty high. From our last appointment, she did not appear to be in any hurry to get here. I think there comes a time when a pregnant body starts to show signs of surrender. I'm just about there....

 Here are pictures of me and Mike somewhere at 2-4 months. Some say we favor each other so I just cross my eyes a bit while looking at these pictures and see if an image comes together. Is that what baby girl will look like??? In all honesty, miracles do happen, and I hope she gets my brother's curly hair. Hey... it could happen!!

 Here we are at 2 years. I can't even imagine what our lives will be like in two years. I'm looking forward to the journey and will try with all my might to not get in a big hurry. Again, I look at these pictures and think of my parents. Their love, sweat and sacrifice has made me who I am today. I'm happy, confident, hard working, full of love for others and I can say the same for Mike. I pray that we can raise baby girl to be her most wonderful potential!! But mostly, she will know how so very loved and adored she is.
