36 Weeks and 5 days

Today I had my first "weekly" check up. Things were going great until I stepped onto the scale...lets not get into how much I have gained. It's just a number-right? Anyway, the Dr. came in and measured my belly and after an little while she decided we needed to do a sonogram. She was not quite sure Clara's head was down. "Yeah!" Jason and I said after the Dr. left the room. So-we got to see Clara again today...this time, we got some pictures in 3-D! We saw her touching her mouth with her hand, we saw her punching me...I think she was more upset that she was being pushed around,we saw her open her mouth and swallow some fluid, stick out her tongue, and even yawn! When the sonographer measured her head, I asked her if she was able to see if she had hair...believe it or not-she said yes! she showed us the top of her head and just around the edges, we could see what can best be described as peach fuzz. But-she's not bald! Horray! Oh, and for those of you who questioned whether or not she was actually a girl...the answer is yes. She is definately a girl! : )

So right now she is weighing in around 6.1 (on the low side) and 7.1 (on the high side). She is healthy and is super active (imagine that)!

Well, Jason just told me I needed to keep it short because not many people would read a lengthy blog post. So just for him, I'm going to keep going.

jk. Here are some pics of our sweet Clara, and me at 36-almost 37 weeks along. Enjoy!

Yay!! I can't wait to meet her. The Sonographer told me that she could see "a little" hair on Sutton and you saw his head! What a fun time!!
