(pic is from https://www.boredpanda.com/geeky-newborn-baby-photography/) We only have two appointments left before the due date. One of the midwives checked me one week ago.

Today we had an appointment for a sonogram. Calie is almost 7lb ( almost 3175g)!!! She grows so fast. A couple weeks ago, she was just around 4lbs. Suddenly, she is almost 7lb. She is definitely getting chubbier! The sonographer was another lady today. She was very nice. She said she likes to see the…
