Braelyn Update

This morning we had an ultrasound to check in on how big Emerson's baby sister is getting.  As of today, I am 36 weeks and 2 days-how is that possible?!  Emerson was very excited about getting to see Braelyn.  I am guessing it was somewhat of a let down to her that she didn't actually get to see her baby sister in person and the pictures were pretty tough to make out too!  Poor little Braelyn is so cramped in there it was very hard to tell what we were looking at most of the time!  We were able to see her opening her mouth and her little eyelids moving though.  It is looking like she is definitely going to be smaller than Emerson unless the measurements are way off or she grows a lot over the next couple of weeks.  She was estimated to weigh 5 pounds 13 ounces right now which they said is about a week smaller than she actually is.  Her heartrate was 130.  We were also very relieved to get confirmation that it is definitely a girl given that the nursery is painted and her name is already on some things! So far everything is looking good and we are on the countdown to D day and have made the switch to weekly doctor visits!

Not a very clear picture but it is of her face!
