Baby Girl Steman

Here are two of our favorite ultrasound pictures. The first if a nice profile shot with her hand up by her face and the second is her first footprint. John thinks she may sleep like him with her hands up. She was actually moving her hands and feet a lot during the appointment. I laugh to think her profile looking like one of us versus the other because we both have the straight German nose! It should be fun to see her in another 2 months.
We are now in our fifth month. Wow! It has been flying since I started to feel better. Our baby girl is about the size of a coconut now. She can use all her senses now so John tries to read out loud to her every night. Her skin is covered in vernix, a cheesy coating to protect her skin from the amniotic fluid. She may even get the hiccups now. I shall have to see if I can feel that movement. She can grab her umbilical cord if she feels it, so could be practicing some swinging in there! Very busy girl!
We had a busy week this past week. My mom came to visit and we checked out local gardens, found some plant seeds, saw the baby and looked at baby clothes and other items. I was good and only bought 2 shirts, Mom picked up some cute onesies/shirts too. I have to wait for more winter clothes come out before I can look for a going home outfit. Cold weather gear, here we come.
Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
