the latest on Lexi

as of today, we have 21 days left till Lexi's due...
we went in for my sonogram today and everything looks PERFECT. apparently i'm carrying Lexi low in my hips and she is a bit small, so that is why i'm measuring so small. there is no problem with Lexi or with the placenta so everything looks just dandy. now hopefully she'll hang on until at least july 5 so we can get finished with fireworks!
the dr. estimated that Lexi weighs about 5.75 lbs... still small, but not as small as the last estimate i had gotten (which was approx. 4 lbs, 15 oz- yikes!). and she has lots of hair, which is funny because Lincoln only had a tiny bit of peach fuzz and spend the first 18 months of his life as a baldy.
the dr. told me he thought she would come at 39 weeks (i guess he had a crystal ball beside all his computers?) and he would be surprised if she came late.
we are glad to know that our baby girl is healthy and that she doesn't seem to be in too big of a hurry to get here.
thank you all for prayers. God is good!
