When will the nameless child be born?

Well, I had an ultrasound on 5/11 which showed that our little girl is in the 81% for size, she weighed about 4lbs 13oz. So, she's big! I had a doctors appointment on 5/22 and according to her, the baby's growth could slow down since I have been eating less carbs and controlling the diabetes. However, there is still a chance she could continue to grow to large:-( In that case, the doctor would probably induce. I have another ultrasound on 6/10 and they are going to determine her size, to see if she's still growing too big. This whole "giving birth" thing is getting closer and closer and I'm a little freaked out!
On a lighter note, she has hair! You can see it in the ultrasound picture...I'm hoping my child dodges the Smidt bald baby genes! Looking at my father-in-law, she's gonna have a TON of hair! I do have had heartburn!
That's all the updates for today!

  1. Those ultrasounds can be REALLY off on weight so don't get too scared! How is the carb thing going for you?

  2. Carbs suck! But I am doing my best to follow the diet and not eat too many, even tho they are ALL I want to eat!

  4. Thick hair does run in the Elliott Family so, my guess is that you won't have a bald baby!!
