Lima Bean takes a close-up!

Our little Lima Bean is getting to be quite a pro at taking photos! We were in our doctor's office today four our fourth ultrasound (I know, FOUR!) and our little princess just loves to ham it up.

Here is a photo of her profile, and you can see that she still loves playing with her hands! It looks very similar to the photos she took 5 weeks ago. Except she's a little bigger now. 


This second shot is a close-up looking down at her face and belly with her hands reaching up like she wants to be held! So, as you can see, she is just as cute as can be. Well, you might have to squint a little to make out her features. We are excited to meet her in person! 


In case you are wondering, everything at the ultrasound checked out wonderfully. The technician measured her head, her leg and her belly. She also listened to her strong heartbeat and measured the amount of amniotic fluid. Everything is looking great!

The purpose of the ultrasound was to measure my fibroids. They appear to be about the same size, so my doctor is just trying to keep an eye on them. I also met with our doctor, who measured my uterus, which is now above my belly button. 

And, for the record, I am now up 16 pounds since my first appointment, a weight gain that my doctor says is "perfect."
