I received the Friends Award from Martha and Are You Kidding Me. I feel so loved!
Here's my eight friends I'd like to forward to (sorry if there's repeats!). Just send the award to 8 of your friends!And Anyone Else who Happens to Read this blog!
On a slightly different note, we had our 32 week OB appt and ultrasound. Got to see Lady Bug in 4D! It was awesome. Although, the umbilical cord was in front of her face which made her look like she had huge Angel.ie Jol.ie lips. I'm talking HUGE! She definitely didn't get those from me. Lipliner has been my friend for a very long time.
She is a big girl. They estimate she's at 4 lbs 7 oz. Already! And we've got eight (gulp!) weeks to go. So...they're thinking somewhere in the 8.5 pound range. Whew. That's big. But then again, we're not slight people. BigB is 6'2" and quite broad (with a head the size of Texas, to boot). I'm 5'8" and "sturdy" as I like to describe myself.
While the tech had the probe thingy on my belly, Lady Bug gave it a huge kick. The tech's hand literally bounced into the air. She said she didn't think she'd ever had a baby kick that hard before. Yeah! We've got a feisty one on our hands!
Then the Doc came in and said she was "very healthy" and that I should focus on eating protein and drinking water. Hmmmmm. Does that mean he knows my obsession with all things baked and bread related? I suppose he's right. Delivering a watermelon doesn't sound like fun. Although, I read somewhere that having a big baby is good because they practically crawl out.
Our bi-polar weather has swung to sunshine this afternoon. Yay! It was grey and rainy this morning and yesterday, 70 on Tuesday. Just plain crazy. But, like I always say, if you don't like the weather in Seattle, just wait an hour and it'll change.

Yeah for Lady Bug and her Sturdy Parents!! This is so exciting, so glad all is well in Maniacal Mommyland.
Thanks for playing along with the Friends Award, You Rock!!
Awww...thanks for the award :)
You are the second blogger I've read this morning who had a 4 lb 7oz baby at 32 weeks! I hear you on the ginormous head fears. Because of Jeramy's big noggin' I had them check head size at my 40 week u/s and they assured me that things were perfectly normal. But of course when the pulled her out during my c-section the first comment they made was "wow she has a big head!". And it still is off the charts.
Hmmm...that comment may worry you more than anything. I'm thinking normal head size thoughts for you.
It's not the head - that compresses. It's the shoulders you have to worry about! :)
Those ultrasound weights are less than accurate. They said my daughter was 7+ lb at my 36 week ultrasound, and she ended up weighing 7lb 15 oz at 40 weeks.
You're getting there...it's so exciting!
