31 weeks and 4 days... We may be a LITTLE biased, but we think she's the most beautiful baby in the world... just look at that cute button nose! And those gorgeous lips in the side pic with her little hand by her face! And yes, in the 2D black-and-white shot, that white stuff sprouting from her scalp is HAIR! Since I was bald for the first 3 years of life, this is a pretty big deal! Maybe she won't need those velcro bows to stick to her hairless head, and even in pink frilly dresses people won't say what a cute little boy! Hmmm, guess I was more traumatized by the lack of hair thing than I thought...
She weighs in at 3lbs 11 oz, just perfect. Everything looked fantastic-- we saw her spinal cord (not just the bones but the actual cord!), all the tiny parts of her heart, brain, gallbladder, kidneys-- every little thing! She was even "practice" breathing, which apparently is the most sensitive sign of fetal well-being! We have a video too if anyone isn't too bored by our bursting-with-pride parent brag session :-) Amazing how 2 little cells can turn into this perfect human being with all these complicated, perfectly working parts! It's easy to take for granted the incredible blessing of having a healthy baby, and we are so very thankful for that!
