So we went in for another ultrasound today – 33 weeks – and it was amazing! Our ultrasound technician was awesome! She explained everything she was doing and generally took her time with us and made sure we saw and understood what were looking at. Oh, and there’s the part where she played around with the 4D machine for a few minutes so she could get us a good shot of Katelyn’s face!!! Thank you ultrasound technician!!! We’re sorry we didn’t catch your name but you really made our day!
“Katelyn Pie”, or KP, as Tim and I call her, was fluttering all around and had her feet and hands in front of her face, but we saw her!! We really, truly saw her face!!!…Little eyes, a little nose with little nostrils and a little mouth! I don’t know about Tim because I was so enamored with actually seeing her face that I didn’t take my eyes off the screen to see how he reacted, but my eyes teared up when I saw those little nostrils!! It wasn’t the eyes or the nose that did me in…it was those darn nostrils! I mean I’ve known all along that a little human has been hitching a ride with me for the past 7.5 months, but for some reason seeing those adorable little nostrils really made it REAL! And we’re more excited than ever about meeting our little girl!!
KP is measuring “perfectly” according to the ultrasound tech and our doctor. She is measuring in at 33 weeks & 4 days, a few days ahead of schedule and weighs in at 5 pounds!! If everything goes as planned and we last the entire 40 weeks, they estimate her weight to be between 8 – 8.5 pounds. Babies usually gain ½ pound a week the last couple months of pregnancy. Her heartbeat is good and strong and she is actively moving around in her ever-shrinking home. The ultrasound technician also showed us where KP has some hair growing on her head, how cute!!!!
In other news, Tim has officially graduated with his Master’s from Auburn!! Wooooo-Hooooooo!! Way to go Timmy!! No more homework!!! His spare time these days is taken up by bouts of Guitar Hero, beer making, movie watching, and honey-do lists.

Congratulations Tim!! And Lindsey; I think the reason you loved those little nostrils so much is because you realize that, very soon, they will be super important - delivering life-sustaining oxygen to the most precious being in your whole world! I am so happy for you guys!
Hey again Tim & Lindsey. Sounds like KP is about ready to come and get spoiled by T&L. The blog is very fun to follow. Good luck down the 'home stretch' (the term 'stretch' seems to apply here).
