Good Baby News!!

First, Abby learned to pee!! Perhaps that sounds a little crude, but it is the actual truth! The kidney dilation in both pregnancies was a blockage build up from the baby not quite figuring out how to do that yet. Medically, it is a pretty insignificant issue, but with Noah it led to being induced, and now I just don't even have to worry about it. Praise the Lord!!

Second, the girl is already 5lbs! The average baby at this stage in the pregancy is 3.75lbs. It isn't anything to worry about; it's just kind of funny. It also makes me feel really good about my weight gain, because it means over half of what I've gained is Abby herself! Whohoo!!

And finally...I wrote recently about how different this pregnancy has been, and her ultrasound was no different. We never would have gotten a face shot like this from Noah. He always had his fists around his face, and when he's feeling badly now he still curls into that position. With Abby it's like she's saying "here I am, take my picture!" And, do you see the smirk!?! She was full of attitude the whole time, shaking her head, sticking out her tongue, trying to shove her fist into her mouth and generally just dancing around as much as she could.

The picture below is of her sticking out her tongue. I've labeled it in hopes of helping you read it. The ultrasound technician was really amused, saying she'd never seen a baby stick their tongue so far out and that this must be one sassy little child. Gee...I wonder where that could possibly be coming from!? Haha! If ever I needed a reminder that she will be her own unique person, I sure got it today. What a fun morning!
