Ultrasound

Monday we saw our beautiful little baby on ultrasound. It is one of the most amazing things. One can see the head, face, spine, 4 chambers of the heart, kidneys, bladder, hands, legs/feet kicking, among other things. It was hard to see if it is a boy or girl, but Dr. Greek thinks it's a girl. She kept crossing her ankles, so it was a little hard to tell.

The most important thing is that everything looked good. It did. Praise the Lord!

One of the first still pictures of the baby was a facial shot that we were able to take home. Dr. Greek says he thinks she looks like she's frowning. On the way home I told Blake that of course she was frowning; he woke her up! Then Blake said "she's like her mother in that way." haha It's funny, but so true!

I am 18 weeks now. I continue to feel somewhat better, but not 100% yet. I'm not really feeling her kick yet. Just the rolling/fluttering, etc. sometimes so far.

We've only thought of girl names that we like, so hopefully the doctor isn't wrong! ha He was right with the Crawford kids and 2 of them were girls, so he gets it pretty accurate I think.

It all makes me want to meet her even though she is only about half a pound.

Lord, help this little one grow normally and be safe. Thank you that we can trust you no matter what.

Until next time...
