31w5d - One more thing

I know I already posted about today's appointment but there was one more thing I forgot to mention. During the u/s, the u/s tech pointed out Maribel's hair. We could see her hair!!! While I know this is not earth shattering news for you, we just thought it was the cutest thing ever to be able to see her hair on the screen while she's still weeks away from joining us. Ok, now I'm really done posting for the day. :-)
