Well, going to an ultrasound and actually finding a baby this time was quite a joy. Even though God had given us many positive signs to keep us hopefull up to this point, we were still worried. (for those of you who can't remember, this was the same point in our last pregnancy when they told us there was no baby...) So, to see something on the screen was such a blessing. Well, needless to say, God didn't stop there. He allowed us to watch our little one wiggle, move, and even flip over while the technician was measuring everything. It was so cool to watch something be alive inside Jenn, and to know that God was in the process of forming a new life. I will be processing that stuff for a long time to come!
So, once the ultrasound was done, we asked the lady if everything looked normal. Thankfully, she said everything was good, and the only thing she noticed was that the baby was big. (no surprise there). But then she told us it was in the 90th percentile, and I think Jenn almost started to cry! I guess our little one is not going to be so little for long. And I guess that also means that it is strong and healthy.
On a final note, most of you are probably wondering wether or not we found out the sex of the baby. Well, the answer is yes, but we aren't telling! We want it to be a surprise, so everyone will just have to wait and see. (I know, cruel ain't it?).
Well, here are the pics. Cute isn't she/he?
This picture is of the baby's head. You can see its hands and face too.
This picture is of the baby's spine. You can see all the little bones...
This picture is the hardest to make out. It is of the baby's feet. You can see them in the black bubble in the middle.
