Last Wednesday we had our final ultrasound. Mireya is getting so big! She’s measuring 5 pounds 8 ounces now. The ultrasound tech did all her measurements and she’s perfect. While she was doing the measurements she stopped and pointed out Mireya’s hair. Hair! It looked like it was long and it was floating around in the amniotic fluid. I couldn’t believe how much it looked like she has! Later, just to show us how cute she was, she grabbed hold of her little foot with her hand. She is so cute! (Do I sound like I’m going to be a mom who brags nonstop? I’ll be the lady in the grocery store who whips out her wallet, unfolds thirty pictures of her baby and tells a five minute story about each one.)

She also dropped again the day before the ultrasound and now she’s absolutely as far down as she can get. Even my mother-in-law noticed how far she’s dropped. I think she’s ready to be here and that’s finally ok. Dr. Gonzales said that I am fine to deliver anytime between now and 39 weeks. I can’t believe I’m going to have a baby girl in my arms in the next four weeks! He also said that I didn’t have any of the issues due to the Factor V Leiden that he expected me to have. I say that it’s all due to the Lovenox.

The final countdown starts now. See you soon Mireya!
