Oh Baby!

Today we had an ultrasound appointment for the baby! A sneak peek at this tiny little one at 19 weeks. My midwife said it is a picture perfect ultrasound. Everything looks normal and healthy. We are so happy!

A profile view. See the little nose?

Two little hands.

Two little legs. It may be hard to see, but the legs are crossed at the ankles. Anna sits this way sometimes when she reads books!

A little hand up by the face.

The baby was very active during the ultrasound today. I am feeling the baby move a lot during the day and he or she really put on a good show for Brent and me today! Little moving arms waving hello to Mommy and Daddy. The little legs were crossed at the ankles, like the baby was just cozy and relaxing. We did not find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. We will have another surprise, just like we did with Anna.

What a difference just a few weeks makes in the growth of the baby. My first ultrasound at 7 weeks (see the picture a few posts back) compared to today's ultrasound is just amazing. Today the baby looks like a baby! It makes it more real to see the baby in there with its little arms moving and heart beating. It is wonderful to think....that is our baby! Now we dream about who you are. Maybe a little boy? Or maybe another little girl? Either way, a child made by us. And a brother or a sister for our Anna. Love multiplies!
