Our not so little baby!

Today I had an appt. at perinatology. Everything looked good on the ultrasound she's weighing in at 6 1/2 lbs 20 inch long! They said she's going to be a very "healthy" girl! We're expecting her to be around 7 1/2-8lbs. when I'm induced on the 30th. Her head measures about 2 weeks ahead of the growth schedule! Lucky me! It was like in the 98th percentile! I like to think that means she'll be very intelligent.
We got some really cute ultrasound pictures. They do it in 3-d so you can see everything very clearly. She has chubby, chubby cheeks. She's so darling! She has dimples in each cheek and on her chin and long eyelashes. Unfortunately, she did not inherit them from me. Joe has prettier eyelashes than me and it ticks me off! I'm getting really excited to meet this little girl. 3 weeks seems like such a long ways off but I know it'll be here before we know it. The Dr. said there's a possibility I could go into labor on my own before and she'd be fine based on her size and the amount of fetal breathing she's doing. I just might freak out if that's the case though. I'm such a control freak. Having it planned sounds pretty good to me!

I am so jealous that you got to see a 3D ultrasound of your baby so far along. It is amazing how you can see little details before she's born. It is almost like cheating! :) I am so glad she is healthy, though. 3 weeks is going to fly by! How exciting!
