healthy ultrasound

as i sit and type this, there are six ultrasound pictures hanging on our fridge. we were in awe to say the least tonight. we saw the four chambers of the baby's heart, both sides of the brain, two legs, two arms, an adorable nose, fingers, toes, ribs, a spine, kidneys, a bladder, a stomach and the list goes on. how amazing that they can measure different parts of the baby and then tell you his/her weight (and yes, i wrote his/her...our will power held strong and we did not find out!...but the nurse who did the ultrasound knows!) our baby is a healthy 15 ounces-almost a pound! doc said that puts us at about a 7 pound baby at delivery time. sounds good to me. most importantly, they said everything looks healthy. what a blessing. so here are two pictures of our little one. the first is of the feet and the second of the whole body with the baby's feet above his/her head. the baby was moving around quite a bit so it was hard to get some of the shots. at one point, the baby was actually holding on to his/her feet and it was adorable! enjoy the pictures and if you pray today, please thank God with us, for a healthy ultrasound.
