Helloooo out there! Thought it was [past] time for an update.
Sprout has been sprouting for 33 weeks now. Evidently, that means she's still working on breathing, her digestive system, and regulating her body temperature, but is mostly just doing her best to gain weight. We had to have her checked out via sonogram yesterday because she decided to have a good stretch during our regular doctor's visit, and her/my overlarge belly measurement was cause for concern. I spent a couple of days wondering whether we were having a giant baby (yeek!), but no -- just a stretchy one. She's slightly over 4 pounds at this point, which is right where she's supposed to be.
Since this was the third time someone told us Sprout was a girl, I think we can pretty much stop wondering. The tech also commented on her long legs and pouty lips (and she wasn't kidding -- see the weird, grainy picture below for a nose-and-mouth shot). They were able to locate a bladder this time... which, till yesterday, I didn't know was missing from the earlier anatomical sonogram. Glad it's there, though.
Weird, grainy picture (she's sideways):
On other fronts, we're making progress in her room. Matt has been putting up extra shelves and light fixtures this week; I've been sewing, and organizing the beginnings of her wardrobe. Thanks to hand-me-downs from Max and the shopping savvy of the two grandmamas, we have a good start on what we'll need. The stripes are painted on the wall, the prints are up, and the dressers are in place (thanks, Lisa, for your assembly help!). It's starting to look right. Lazlo has been thoughtfully testing out each new item to make sure it feels right, too.
