Well, I went to the specialist today for my final ultrasound. The tech switched over to the 3D setting, so we got a glimpse of our baby girl’s face! She is so cute! (I know I am biased!) But she kept sticking out her tongue (2nd pic above)- it was funny! She already has chubby little cheeks! It was such an amazing experience! God has placed a little girl in my womb that is growing and almost ready to enter this world! Angela and Allison got to go with me today, so that was neat for them to see as well! Everything looked great. They said she weighs about 5lbs, 14oz! She has gained just under 2lbs since the last ultrasound 4 weeks ago! So she is starting to put on the weight!
I had an OB appt. yesterday – I found out that all the contractions that I have been having over the last week and a half have actually been doing something! I am 1cm dilated and 20% effaced! I have been feeling pretty achy and yuck – but it makes sense! I am 4 weeks away from my due date, but the doc thinks she will probably come in the next couple of weeks! That would be great!
We have been working in Ella’s room and the painting is just about done – just a few touch-ups. We hit a snag with our carpet that we ordered, so hopefully we can figure out a plan B - quickly! 
The boys are doing really well. Caleb’s headaches seem to be gone now – Thank You, Lord! They are actually going camping with Gremmie and Dodo for the weekend! They were pretty excited about that. Chris and I are going to take advantage of the empty house to try to wrap up some projects!
My sisters were with us since Sunday, so we had a great time with them! We always love it when they come for a visit! I am so glad they even want to come visit their “much older” sister! (They like to remind me how “old” I am!) On Monday, we went out to Liki Tiki Village and had a relaxing day in the sun! That was so nice – the weather was beautiful! Angela took some pregnancy pics of me while she was here. I will post those soon!
Okay, well I guess that is about it…enjoy the pics!
Steph!
