Squirmy Girl

She is moving around sooo much now! It makes me feel so reassured to feel her squirming and hiccuping and flipping around. I was able to ID a body part for the first time today, as I developed a very hard bulge above my belly button and after pushing it a few times, realized that's where her butt is! Her heartbeat can be heard right below my belly button, and given her approximate length right now, she had her little butt poking out right above my belly button. So funny! I actually laughed out loud walking down the hallway at work...and then I realized people were looking at me rather oddly. : )

It's a whole new world, and it only has three people in it. It's magic, it really is. I can't wait to hold this child and love her and stare into her eyes. I love her so much already, but I know it will be tenfold when I actually see her. Oh, April cannot come soon enough!!

3-D Ultrasounds

Man! We have had the best morning!! We actually got to see our girl's face - her REAL face!

We went to get our third ultrasound, to check my cervical length again (it was perfect) and to check my girl's heart and spine, which they couldn't get clearly last time (perfect, also!)...and we were all excited that her heart and spine were perfect...but THEN...

The ultrasound tech changed transducers, which I didn't think much of at first, but then she put it on my tummy and hit a button and there was her face up on the screen! A real picture of her beautiful, perfect face. We burst into tears of course - and I asked the tech why she did that? Since it wasn't planned...she just smiled and said she though we would like to see her. I could have hugged her. She gave us an amazing gift.

Hopefully, my tech un-savvy self will be able to scan the pix onto the computer and I can share them. We'll see....
