Where did she get that nose?


In our ultrasound last week, we saw lots of baby girl's face. I had to lay on my side, as her little head was wedged under my hip, but we were still able to get a good visual. We got to see her sucking on her tiny fingers and she stuck her tongue out a few times. She opened her eyes and made lots of cute funny faces.

Her nose is wider and flatter than our noses. In fact, no one in either of our families has a nose like that. Was she pressing up against something in there, distorting her features like when you press your face against a window? Turns out, no. The doctor told us all babies have a wider nose in utero because they simply aren't using them to breathe yet. The cartilage will take a more permanent shape soon enough. 

What we do know is that she has a lot of hair. It remains to be seen whether or not she'll get my curls or Chris' more manageable hair. I was born a baldy and stayed bald for over a year. My hair came in thick and curly all at once and has been a battle ever since. Chris hopes she carries on my curls and I hope she's tall like him.

  1. Sounds to me like she will be perfectly balanced just like her parents. :)
