We had our 3-D ultrasound yesterday! It was so amazing to get to see her again! It was really cool to see how much she has grown! She was really nestled deep, so we did not get alot of pictures, but the few we did get were pretty cute! It was really amazing to see her move on the ultrsound screen and feel her at the same time! She is doing very well, and has a strong heartbeat!
Here are a few of the pictures we got: (it takes a moment for your eye to train in on what you are seeing)
In this picture you can see her face in the center - her nose is the light spot in the middle. Her hand is in the lower right - it looks like she is holding onto something, might be the umbilical cord, not sure, we did not think to ask!
Her face is a little higher up here, you can see her nose, mouth and chin really well in this picture. She had moved her arm up, so the white round blotch on the left is part of her arm.
She didn't move around a whole bunch (which is why alot of our pictures are very similar) and in this shot she is in the middle of a yawn, you can see her mouth wide open. We did get a video with her yawn and her stretching her arm - it was so cute!
Another shot of her face, you can see the cleft in her upper lip - a common whallon trait!
This is a shot of a small smile she gave us, she was moving a little, so the upper part of her face was blurred, but her mouth is really defined (look just below the white spot in the middle right section of the picture)
Another shot of her beauitful face!
She looks like she is pouting a little here :) She was also moving back, making it harder to get a picture!
This is the same one, but in black and white, which I think is a little easier to see.
We also double checked that Elizabeth is really an Elizabeth, and not a William Thomas! Yes she is a girl!
After the ultrasound we went to Build-a-Bear and made a cute stuffed cat for her, we gave her a bow and a small bouqet of roses (for Elizabeth Rose!) so she will have a friend already waiting for her arrival! It was so much fun!
Thank you everyone for your prayers, everything is going very well! I am feeling good, and Elizabeth is strong and healthy. I had my glucose tolerance test last week, and results have been good!
As many of you know, we have decided that I will stay home and take care of Elizabeth once she arrives. I am so thankful that I am able to do this. I love my job, and am sad to leave, but I am very excited for the new journey, and feel blessed to have the opportunity to be with her. We are not sure yet how all the finaces will work out, but we know that God will take care of us!
