Estella Louise Barbee, or Estella Lee Barbee? for some reason Judah doesn't want the name Louise, but i told my mom today that i might sneak it on the birth certificate when he isn't looking....:)<br /><br />At today's doctor's visit i had a complete anatomy scan where they measure the size of the baby's brain, spine, kidneys, heart, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">etc</span>. to check for abnormalities. they also look at the arms and legs and fingers and toes to make sure the baby's parts are the right proportion to each other. and they also check for signs of Down <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Syndrome</span> (i opted not to get the blood test, and instead they just checked her anatomy for signs). Then we had an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">appointment</span> with my OB for the results, and she said each and every part was perfect and exactly the way it should be. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">I'm</span> so glad they did this because it settles some of my anxieties. i had some very weird dreams lately, and watched a show on t.v about dwarfism... and that freaked me out, to say the least. but i know, for now, that she is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">lookin</span> good and normal. and my favorite part was when the doctor mentioned that her legs are actually a little longer than usual, which i think is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">sooooo</span> adorable. her first feature. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">judah</span> is worried our long legged girl will be too <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">gorgeous</span> and he will have a hard time protecting her from those boys....<br /><br />Lastly, we felt the baby move for the first time on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Tuesday</span>. It was really cool because i hadn't felt her yet, and i kept <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">complaining</span> and asking how i would know. I asked Mrs. Barbee and i described what i thought was her moving, and she said "you'll just know" and just like that, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Judah</span> was doing something on the computer and i was standing next to him and he started talked into my belly like he always does, and then, KICK! It was magical.<br />now she does it all the time, mostly when Judah talks to her, and he can feel it, maybe because of her strong long legs. my doctor says she will probably be a daddy's girl. we'll see about that!Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13397624436901211335noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330507525663099295.post-27038540119889538222008-08-17T11:51:00.000-07:002008-08-17T14:43:10.995-07:00what exactly does "blog" mean, anyway?<div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hUO29bUBeLw/SKh7koQgkOI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/xK7w0CajUIQ/s1600-h/kj+black+white.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235570436030370018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hUO29bUBeLw/SKh7koQgkOI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/xK7w0CajUIQ/s320/kj+black+white.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>so.... as per Brenda's force, i have decided to start a "blog" to keep the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">barbee</span> and extended family updated on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">judah's</span> and my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">shenanigans</span> particularly since we are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">cookin</span> a baby in my belly, due to enter the world in late <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">january</span>. the due date is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">january</span> 23, 2009, although as much as i wish this pregnancy were over NOW, i am actually hoping the baby will be born a little later than that....</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>so, as many of you already know, (actually every single one of you...word travels fast in this family!) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">judah</span> and i found out last <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Wednesday</span> that we are having a baby GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
