Those two words about sum up our monthly appointment with the midwives today.
Thankfully, they didn't use those words to describe me. ;) They were talking about Asa! We had a follow-up ultrasound today, because his positioning last time didn't allow them to measure his spine, observe all 4 chambers of the heart close-up, or see him face-on to check for cleft palate. They checked all of those things today, and everything is great! :) They also told us he's estimated at 1 lb. 13 oz. already. He's already almost TWO POUNDS!! No wonder random strangers are starting to notice my little baby bump. :) The tech also commented about him having quite the hair on his head. I noticed the top of his head looked fuzzy and had heard that's how hair shows up on ultrasound. Before I could even ask she commented on it... the top of his head looks quite fuzzy. :) He's still head down. While that could change of course, we are thankful he's still in the "right position" so far. :) Lastly, Asa is definitely still all boy. ;)
We go back in 4 weeks exactly. Then I think we'll be moving to appointments every 2 weeks. I have to do the glucose test sometime before I go back. Last time I passed with flying colors, so hopefully everything's still the same. :)
In other news, Matt has been a BUSY BEAVER painting Asa's room! He put Kilz up on all the walls and painted the base color--2 nights in a row! We finally settled on colors. They are two shades of a nice, warm caramel color. Of the 4 walls in the room, one will be a solid wall of the lighter caramel color (and I'm painting a tree mural on it later... but no, I didn't copy Brad and Joy! I didn't know they were doing that in our niece's room), the other 3 will have vertical stripes of the two colors. I LOVE the way it looks so far. It's just such a nice, rich color without being too dark. And this Friday Mom drives down with Asa's furniture--his crib and changing table! I just can't quite imagine the feeling of seeing everything in place in the room with his bedding and furniture. Exciting but surreal!
I will be sure to post pictures of the nursery as it progresses. :) Stay tuned!
