Well, I was right. Tiny Dancer is 5 lbs. I could have her now, and she'd just be a small baby. But I think we'll be safe and keep her in a few weeks longer. If she keeps up her 1/2 lb per week weight gain, she'll be 8 1/2 lbs on her due date. Honestly, that makes me a little nervous for myself, but very happy for her. I'd much rather have a chunky, healthy baby than a small, fragile baby that I'm afraid to touch. I'll go through anything to keep her healthy.
Things are still going great! Also, still no face picture. She's very prepared for delivery with her head down and face down.
She's energetic as ever. Any time I sit and relax, she's moving something. The doctor even commented on how wiggly she was today. Her favorite thing is to kick me under my ribs, an interesting feeling. It sort of hits a nerve, so sometimes I jump or twitch. She's just letting me know she's still in there.
She likes to press against people's hands now. I had my niece, Brielle put her hand on my stomach, and the baby pressed hard against it. I asked Brielle if she felt it, and she replied, "She pushed my hand away!" It was so cute! I also have had my niece, Savannah feel the baby move. She thought that was pretty awesome. I tried to have my nephew, Declan feel the baby, but she wasn't in the mood to move when he put his hand there. He was so cute cuddling up to my belly, though. Lance laughs whenever he sees my stomach move. The baby is so big you can see the movement really well, especially if it's a time of day when she's super alert, or if there is music playing.
Well, wish Lance and me luck for the last seven weeks of pregnancy. I can't even describe how much we love this little girl already.
