Camera shy.

Well, it's official. Dylan and I have the most stubborn little girl & she's not even born yet!

Lord help us.

All I can do is laugh, but we went for the eagerly anticipated 3D ultrasound and Layla decided she didn't want to participate today. I either have great intuition or I jinxed it, but I just knew that she was going to be difficult. I joked that she would probably cover her face come showtime and..that's exactly what she did!

She's also breech, which isn't a big deal as of yet, but the ultrasound tech said it makes it harder to get a good image when they are head up.

So oh well...we rescheduled for 3 weeks from now. I'm disappointed because I was so excited to see her today but, I would rather have a good session with good pictures rather than battle with her and that stubborn arm for the length of my appointment.

For as wiggly and crazy as she seems to be in there, she sure does love to keep that arm up by her head! She had the same arm up by her face at her 15 week & 18 week ultrasounds. Home girl better move that arm out of the way come birth time because I read a horror story of a woman who delivered with her baby's arm by his head and to put it shortly, it wasn't pretty. Ahhhh..

As much as I didn't get to see today, I did get a quick glimpse of her yawning on the 2D ultrasound which was cute. She was probably saying, yawn..are y'all going to leave me alone yet? It wasn't the clearest image (the tech was more concerned with getting her to move her arm than try and get a good shot..which was fine) but I did get to see her chubby little cheeks and round head! She will absolutely have my big round melon head. I know I keep saying that, and you can't really tell now that I have a big head, but my head & fat face barely fit in my hospital newborn photo. I'll try and find the picture. Knowing how she is positioned now, it's definitely her big noggin I always feel around my belly button.

Today was just a reminder that although she may be inside me and I'm carrying her, she is her own little person on her own schedule already! Maybe she will feel more cooperative in 3 weeks..

Still waiting to get an update on when Dylan will be home...seems like I'm waiting for a lot these days! Oh well, such is life..and all good things are worth waiting for.
