New Baby Pictures!

Hello all! Not much to report lately. I do, however, have the newest pictures to share from our last ultra sound on February 20th. In these pictures, the baby is 28 weeks old! Hard to believe!

The tiny legs and feet! Giving a side profile! This last one you can see the front part of the face!
My last appointment was very eventful. We were glad that my sis and niece were able to join us, along with my parents. Abby was really excited about seeing her baby cousin on the TV. (She also commented to her mommy about how big my tummy was...Ha ha).

The ultra sound tech said that the baby already had hair growing on it...Isn't that amazing! We also were able to see the baby drinking in fluids. It was the neatest thing I have seen. It was cute to see the baby yawn several times and suck on his/her hand. Nothing will ever replace those moments to me!

Besides witnessing the unbelievable growth of the baby, I did experience a few new things that I had never had before. First, they had a trainee in the room. After they took the measurements they needed, they allowed her practice taking measurements on me. They said that my baby was a perfect one to practice on since it always lies where it was easy to view.

The second "new experience" came as the tech in training was taking her measurements...I just started to feel sick and asked Marc to get me a drink of water. The next thing I remember is leaning up against my dad and running to the sink to....well, let’s just say my stomach was swimming. I later found out that there is truth to not laying on your back for too long when you’re pregnant. Apparently the weight of the baby was cutting off my blood supply--leading to me almost passing out! After laying down for a while (on my side this time) and having a cold wash cloth on my face, I was back to normal...Well, almost....The color did take a while to come back, but hey--that’s what makeup is for! Next time we'll put a few pillows under my legs to prevent that from happening again!

I have attached a brief video clip from the ultra sound. In the clip, the baby yawns a couple of times. It's not the clearest, however. I had to video my TV playing the tape. Ha ha...maybe one day I'll be able to figure out this technology stuff!!! I hope that it’s clear enough for you to see a little glimpse of why Marc and I have fallen in love with a baby who isn't even born yet!


More to come...
