She's a big girl!

Yesterday was our 36 week checkup and we got to see the baby again on the ultrasound. The machine estimated her weight at 6lbs 11oz! She is making her way up the scales with 3 more weeks to go. Oh my goodness. I know that sometimes those estimates are not accurate, but we are still prepared to have a healthy baby girl that might be a little bigger than we expected.

They also said that she has long legs, big feet, and lots of hair. Kevin never fails to ask if her hair is red, and of course every time the lady says she can't tell. The ultrasound lady doesn't have much of personality when she is working. Everything
looked good and she was practicing her breathing, her heart was beating, and she has all her toes, fingers and other limbs.


There is her big foot

This one is the front of her face with her arm coming over

This is a shot from under her chin, showing her mouth and under her nose. What a cute button nose.

Thank you God for our baby girl and for all the joy she has already brought her parents, grandparents, aunts, and cousins. I can't get over what a miracle this all is and how blessed we are.

It sounds like she is going to be a BIG girl like her aunt Tara. I will have to teach her to walk proud with all of the height! I can't wait to see you and Kevin.
Love Tara
