Perfectly healthy

Dr. Parrott keeps telling me that I am a perfectly healthy person except for being pregnant. How right he is! All of that stuff they look for to go wrong in pregnancy is not going wrong for me. I am quite happy about that. All the symptoms of being pregnant that a woman could have, I have! I guess that is so much better than the alternative but it's hard to remind myself that when I have my head in the trash can...yet again!

Our appointment today went fine. We had another ultrasound and saw all four chambers of the heart. Molly is breech right now but that doesn't really matter to me since we are having a c-section no matter what. I could have told the tech that because her legs keep jabbing me in the pelvis! She apparently has very long legs like her big sister, already in the 97th percentile on femur growth. She is weighing in at a whopping 1 pounds, 9 ounces which is apparently well above average at this point. I seriously can make such strong, healthy babies but I am such a pathetically sick pregnant woman! How weird is that?

My due date has shifted some but we are still on track for July 6th. This might change depending on how fast Molly grows but I am still adamant about not having her the week before the July 4th weekend. We'll see.
