34.2 Weeks Along - 34 Week Prenatal Check-Up...We Get To Have Another Sonogram!

Today was my 34 week prenatal check-up and all is well with the exception that the doctor thinks I am "measuring much bigger than 34 weeks". So Gidget and I get to go in for a sonogram tomorrow at 2pm to measure to see how much she weighs and check amniotic fluid levels.

Personally, I think she's GINORMOUS and I wouldn't be at all surprised, if, when she's done bakin' that she doesn't end up close to 10lbs! I mean, I hope she doesn't end up being that huge but it won't surprise me. I have no history of having HUGE babies, but something just makes me think she's going to be big! Our own little butterball.

Whilst my doc was trying to get her heartbeat on the doppler she'd kick his hand away and it was really funny to watch. Finally got her to be still long enough to get a listen at her beautiful little heart and all is well. However, I was strictly admonished from shoveling snow for the rest of the season. I actually got quite the lecture about that. Bottom line, don't do it. It's not a good thing!

And, I know this is going to make a few folks laugh as I've been talking a lot about it lately, but I'm gonna have the sonogram tech check to see if my little butterball is indeed bald or has some feathers up top. At this point they can usually tell if there is hair.

I am partial to bald babies as I have mentioned before. I like 'em bald. And frankly, I wouldn't know what to do with a baby who came out with any hair. I myself was bald until I was well past two and now I have a thick head of curly hair - which I hate. But my point is, it eventually came in. Same with my other babies. Bald as billiards when they made their grand entrance into the world and they all have beautiful hair now.

Seriously though. I don't think hairy babies are attractive at all. And I don't want Gidget to pop out looking like an Albino Mexican baby. Now, no offense to anyone who might have given birth to an Albino Mexican baby. I'm sure they are just as precious to you as Gidget is to me. I just wouldn't know what to do with a little hairy creature like that.

I just want a bald baby. And yes by gosh, I will tape a bow to her head if I have to! I did it for Meg when she was little and not a single person out there can tell me she wasn't adorable, because she was. Both she and her bald twin brother were just as sweet as could be. Same with Zack. And Zack still has a head full of curly blonde hair. He's the only one who started out blonde who is still blonde.

Now, I'll adore and spoil Gidget just as much as I would if she were born bald, if she ends up having loads of hair. And as long as she's happy and healthy, in the long run, the hair thing isn't really an issue.

But still, I'd like another bald head to kiss.
