Just Waiting and Waiting

The anticipation is building! We are getting so excited to meet our little girl. She has been at the center of our thoughts for the past nine months... who will she look like?, when will she come?, what will we name her?, will we be good parents? All the usual questions that new parents to be think about. Well the time is just about here and she could come any day now. Her official due date is the 23rd of September, but we would love to meet her before then. Knowing my luck we wont get to meet her until after that date, but we will give her the time she needs. The excitement of what she will look like is just eating at me. Lucky for me I got to see her yesterday at our doctors appointment. The doctor couldn't feel her head in the cervix so he pulled out the ultrasound machine to check her positioning. She is positioned correctly, she is just still pretty high. But since we were already looking at her he showed me how she is doing. She is already doing the breathing movements, even though she is still receiving oxygen from the umbilical cord. I also got to see her little heart beat and her legs and arms kick and stretch. This movement I feel a lot, but it is fun to see too! So everything is looking great. She is measuring good and developing great. Now all we have to do is wait for her to come. We will keep everyone posted on how things are and when she comes.
