personality from the womb?

is it possible for a child

to show their personality

from the womb?

my answer: yes!

since we've gotten to 'see' our little one

every two weeks 

we've seen some of her habits

and so have the docs

which thankfully they just laugh

today 

for instance

when trying to get a heart beat 

lower than 170

she wouldn't cooperate

she kept kicking the wand

which we could hear

and moving about

and when she's moving 

her heartbeat stays at 170

after about 10 minutes

she finally calmed down for about a minute

and we got a "good"

heartbeat

but you guessed it

she kicked the wand again and started moving

the doc just laughed and said

"she's going to be an athlete"

*

when it comes to our dogs

she's already made her choice

when maik lays his head on my belly

as he is doing so here

she kicks till he moves

when admiral leans on my belly

or puts his head on it

or spoons with it

she is calm

no kicking at all!

*

she pushes her hand in front of ultrasound wands

she moves all the time

to the point the docs say

"oh i remember this baby" 

when they try do an ultrasound

but 

despite all these quirks

that we've started to notice

she is ours!

and she is healthy

and happy

and 

measuring bigger 

14 days!!!

than she should be

which is excellent due to my condition

we are no longer on 2 week checks at the ob!!

but will be seen every 4 from radiology 

to make sure she has room to grow

and

are considered "normal" for now!!!!

*

i hope she is as feisty in my arms

as she is in the womb

i hope she leaves a blazing trail

and 

people know when she's coming

and when she's been there

she's spunky

and strong

and for our little girl

i couldn't ask for better qualities!

24 weeks measuring 26!

merry christmas!

from all of us

including the spunky one in the womb!
