What does a baby look like in utero?

We had an ultrasound yesterday and because I've got some more amniotic fluid than I should, they took some 4D photos of the little guy.

Looks to me like he has a lot of black hair, and  a smirk. I get to go back in 2 weeks to see if my fluid levels are down. Upon researching the condition, sometimes levels fluctuate and it might have been mine was absolute highest when I was checked. He's showing bigger than they were expecting and so were worried I have gestational diabetes. I don't think I do, because my glucose test came back fine, but we'll see. I have been feeling dizzy lately.

I had to get bloodwork done today for my TSH levels. We'll see how that goes. I need to make an appointment with a new GP or with an endocrinologist.

Finally, since they expect I'm further along, I revised my own due date. Honestly, since I saw the first OB I knew I was due earier than they said. I know my body. And I think that if he showed as smaller earlier on, that was likely because MY thyroid and meds weren't supplying all that he needed.


Oh the horror!

Ingrid got a very cute outfit from her Grandpa John for Christmas.  The kicker is, she's been anti-clothes for a while now, so when I tried to put them on her to see what it looked like, she reacted like this...

I mean, it was BAD. And it took her a while after I'd taken the clothes off to settle back down. I'm not sure she's ever had that big  of a meltdown before. But I don't think it was just the clothes on that was the problem. My dad smokes and everything smelled strongly, so I threw them in the wash and put them on her the next day to go to Ikea and she was pretty fine about it.

I forgot to mention, We got some very sweet baby things. Not only did Lance bring some clothes and diapers when he met with Peter last time, but Megan sent some super cute clothes along with the Christmas presents. I almost think I like little boy clothes better than little girl clothes. Bring on the trucks, dinosaurs, bears and out with the pink!
