Ultrasound pictures, round two

Here are some more ultrasound pictures! 


This is at 28 weeks

If you can figure it out, you can see she is sticking her tongue out at us :)  




These are from 30 weeks

This is a view looking at her head on. You can see her cheeks and nose! 


This is another looking at her head on. It's a tad hard to make out, but you can see her chubby cheeks and nose, her mouth and eyes too. During the ultrasound we were able to see her sticking her tongue out at us, and moving her eyes around! Amazing what were able to see with a simple ultrasound!!

Here is her little foot! It's looking bigger!  


We have another ultrasound on Thursday. It will be to measure her and make sure the blood flow everywhere is doing ok. We will be 32 weeks (8 months).

 Also, today I had another NST and OB check. It went fine. I think she was asleep for it though. This one took a bit longer then usual. 
Dr. McLean said that we are defiantly delivering at 37 weeks. Then our nurse, Laura, came in and gave me two dates to pick from. They can either do it the C-section on Feb. 28th or March 1st. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a smidge OCD. My thought process into picking the date is as follows::
If we select Feb 28th, then all of our girls birthdays would be Feb, April and May. But if we select March 1st, then we'd have March, April and May. However, it would be on the first. Everyone but Amelia would be on the first and she would be left out... Allison was meant to be a planned C-section as well, but I went into labor the same day, so it felt right and didn't feel like I picked her birthday. But now.. I feel a bit of pressure to pick a birthday. Kyle doesn't have a preference, so it's up to me! I think I'm just nervous about picking someone else's birthday. See, just a tad OCD :)

To add to it, if you didn't know, the way we picked the girls names was just as complicated. So Kyle is the oldest in the family, and his name is four letters. Then me, Kayla, which is five letters. Amelia is six, Allison is seven, and Anabelle is eight. Also, all of the girls names are three syllables, and their middles names are one. And Kyle and my first name are two, and our middles names two. I know, I'm just a bit crazy... 

I will keep you updated as to how the ultrasound goes on Thursday. Thank you all again for your support. To just take the time to read my rants, and show your support, makes all the difference to us during these past few hectic months! 

With love, 
The Polks
