Ultrasound and more Elmo

We had the baby anatomy ultrasound today. They were able to get good views of everything except his/her spine, so at my next appt they'll just do a quick check to see it. Everything looked fine, and we got to see some of the baby's face. We didn't find out the sex, so we will be just as surprised as you all will when he/she is born. The baby measures in the 80th percentile with a pretty big head to match. I don't know how as I've only gained 5 or 6 pounds. I was hoping for a smaller baby with a smaller head this time around (Lila was 8lb 7oz with a big head at birth), but I guess we don't always get what we want right?

Lila's love affair with Elmo continues. My good friend Michelle ("Auntie Michelle") sent Lila a collectors box full of five different Elmos called Elmo Through the Years. Her other two Elmo dolls talk so she kept pressing the bellies of the new ones and shaking them trying to get them to talk. I think now she's finally figured out they don't make any noise. So with the two she had she now has SEVEN Elmos! She loves them all and has been trying to carry them all at once around the house. She'll come around a corner with three or four of them crammed in her arms. It's pretty funny.
