Look at that adorable little girl, she has got her thumb almost in her mouth. It is the cutest thing I have seen. Of course, I will break her of the habit if she still thinks she wants to suck on it when she is born. Nobody needs another 5 year old sucking on extremities. (Note: Alyssa did finally stop sucking her fingers at night right before her 5th birthday.) I went back today for an ultrasound to measure the growth of baby sister. Everything is still looking good and healthy. She was so active that the tech was having a hard time. Which made me feel good, because I have felt her very little in the last few weeks. It seemed with the others, I felt movement sooner. But the tech told me the placenta is near the top and is acting as a cushion between me and her right now. As she gets bigger, she will probably drive me crazy with all that movement.

So according to the last ultrasound, she has grown just fine. But measured against the due date, she is 1-2 weeks behind in size. My doc changed the due date early on from 11-19 to 11-14, but we probably should have stuck with the first which was given from 2 early measurements. Either way, she is fine, but it complicates things when you try to induce at 39 weeks. We can worry about that later. For now our baby sister is healthy and kickin’.
