Liv is coming in about 5 weeks!

I had my regular doctor's appointment today. I only gained half a pound in two weeks but Liv gained about a pound. She now weighs 5.5 lbs. I am 33 weeks and she is measuring at 35 weeks :). She has a big head, just like both boys (and me and Brian) and the tech said she has my nose :).

So because of my gestational diabetes and because she is a big baby, they are going to induce her (like they did with Tor) at 38 weeks. So either on Thursday, March 20th or Monday, March 24th. That is only 5 weeks away. I am having a baby in 5 weeks! Jack came on his own 3 weeks early so if she is like that I will be having a baby in only 4 weeks. I am so excited. Brian says he wouldn't mind if she stays in there for another year or so. Yeah, so NOT happening -- even if it was possible.

I am so excited. I think I am even more excited about Liv than I was about the boys. I don't think it is a girl/boy thing, I think I am actually allowing myself to be excited about her, I am worrying less than I did when I was pregnant with the boys.

I can't wait to have my little girl.

What a beautiful picture of Liv. March 20 sounds good to me, but I am partial to that date since it is MY birthday. What a blessing to fall in love with your child before she is born!!! It is good that you can be so excited and relax a bit.
