The Miss Elaine-ous Life

Yesterday morning we all went to my OB’s office and after the cool gel was applied, saw the baby girl again.

The boys were in the room (I’ve never had kids in my ultra sounds before) and although I’m sure they (especially Little G) had NO idea what was on the screen, they did pretty well and the tech joked with The B Man about how the baby had a blueberry in her belly.

We saw her arms and her feet and her face and her heart beating, within my body.

The tech even pointed out the hair on her head and claimed there was a lot.

Then she said the baby probably weighs about 4 lbs., which is apparently on the weighty side for 32 weeks.

After seeing her yesterday, feeling her always (she’s a real mover and shaker!) and learning that she’s kinda ‘chubby’ (The B Man’s word, not mine) and that she may have lots of hair, I want to meet her. Like really meet her.

And so now I am overwhelmed with the feelings of wanting to hold her and touch her newborn, soft-as-soft-can-be baby hair and skin. And smell her baby smell and look into her not-open-very-much eyes.

Oh, and dress her in something pink (or even purple or lavender or rose. You know, something boys can’t wear…)

I know she’ll be here before we know it. But now, I can hardly wait.

  1. Squee! So very exciting. You know, you really need to email me your address, So I can send a huge box of all things pink and purple!

    🙂 Plus, I need pay you back for the airpost shuttle, remember?

  5. Oh Elaine, this is soooooo exciting. There are so many of us who can’t wait to meet your precious little girl. Lots of hair (how adorable), are you going to do teeny hair bows?

  9. What an awesome moment for all of you! I wish I was having another ultrasound because I am dying to see the curves of her face and all.

    She’ll be here soon!

  15. Oh how exciting! She is going to be one well protected little girl! TWO big brothers! Awesome.

    I hope the next few weeks don’t drag on too much for you to meet and smell and squeeze your little girly-girl.

  16. I’m so excited for you! She will be here before you know it.

    I remember going back and forth between wanting to meet my daughter and being terrified of having another baby (since my son was only 18 mos) to care for.

  18. ehem! And who told you about the agita and hair? Eight weeks will fly by and you’ll be snuggling your “fluffy” (much nicer than chubby) little girl.

    Like others have said- I am looking forward to the day that you post the newborn pictures. She’s gonna be so sweet!

  25. Hey! Careful what you wish for! That’s what I was thinking when Daniel decided to debut ahead of schedule! 🙂

  30. Hang tight because these last few weeks are going to go by so fast. Can’t wait to see pictures of you holding your beautiful girl in PINK!

  32. Awww… how sweet! Isn’t it awesome, seeing your baby on that screen? And I was so over having a third child, until you wrote this post… thanks a lot! 😉 xo

  33. Nope, not even a little bit jealouse. NOpe, I am just not that kind of person 😉
