How is Squishee REALLY doing in there!

We had another ultrasound on Monday, 3/24/08 (about 28 weeks along). In the past, when people have showed us their ultrasound pictures, we've had a little trouble seeing what they were able to see. So don't worry... if this just looks like a black and white blob to you, we understand. Maybe you have to see it live in order to interpret the picture. But just in case you are one of those people who can actually see the 3-D image in those cool posters at the mall kiosks, here is Squishee's latest portrait (it's a close up!).

Squishee's face... you can't see it in this picture,
but we think she has Lisa's chin. I guess we'll find out in a few months!

Other Squishee updates:

• Not that it should come as a shock to anyone, but we are starting to think Squishee just might be a little ornery. The little munchkin is currently BREECH! In fact, she has her head tucked nicely into Lisa's rib and she looks as cozy as can be. But as Lisa's dad would say... "DON'T PANIC!" Although 75% of babies have flipped by this time, there's still plenty of time for Squishee to do a swan dive. We'll be hoping for her to make her big move in the next 2-8 weeks before we REALLY start to panic! :-)


• Squishee is slightly small for 28 weeks, but nothing to worry about (especially since both Sean and Lisa were small babies and don't exactly top the charts when it comes to height). This is good news since once of the risks of Lisa's chronic high blood pressure (and the medication she's on) is stunted growth in the womb. The doc will still keep a close eye on Squishee's growth throughout the rest of our pregnancy, but so far so good!


• Speaking of high blood pressure, Lisa's is doing great! No worries whatsoever at this time!


• Both Sean and Lisa are enjoying the little kicks and pushes that Squishee does throughout the day. Although she still is a bit of a mystery in there, we are connecting with her more and more each day. While we lay in bed at night, Lisa curls up behind Sean and without fail, Squishee starts kicking and pushing like mad. We just lay there and laugh at the fact that she is already trying to push her daddy around! :-)


• We have had many questions about names. I'm not sure, but it seems like some of you are a little tired of the name "Squishee". Unfortunately, we haven't decided on a name yet, but we look forward to sharing it with you soon... that is, in about 11-12 weeks when Squishee is born. In the meantime, if you are tired of calling her Squishee, you can always use her other nickname, Squishette!
