Anatomy 101

Today Tim and I went to our Level 2 Anatomy ultrasound. It was at a special doctor's office and looked specifically at the major organs and bone structures. We were told that the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, spinal cord, etc. all look great. They also counted 10 fingers and 10 toes. We had confirmation that baby tater tot is officially a GIRL, or in the words of the doctor "Looks like we have a Philly." She was moving around so much and I can't help but cry when I watch the screen. She is just such a precious miracle. I wish I could video the monitor because the pictures just don't do her justice. We saw little footprints, her yawn really big, and grab her feet with her hands. She is now the size and weight of a chicken breast. Sometimes I think I feel movement, but I'm not quite sure. I love having the technology to see our baby. It is crazy to me that when I was born my parents didn't get to see me. 9 months must have been much more suspenseful back then. I feel so blessed to have a healthy baby. There is really nothing more you could ask for.

  1. Yeah!!Our precious is beautiful! and PINK!! Read Psalm 139 when you can. The miracle of God's care for our creation is expressed so beautifully, esp. when you have a baby being created inside you! Except now the "while you were being made in secret in your mother's womb" part isn't quite as secret due to the great technology we have! So great though cause you can appreciate the devolopment all along. I love YOU ALL. From, Mom
