Today, we were treated to an extended look at our gorgeous little girl! My aunt Patty works for GE and was able to borrow a portable ultrasound machine equipped with 4D … she very graciously gave up her Sunday afternoon and came to our house to give us a private viewing of Toot. It was awesome. We now have so many great pictures of her and can’t believe how big she is getting! Her little heart was ticking away at 136 beats per minute and we were able to record the sound of it – that makes me happy because it’s one of my favorite sounds and now we’ll always have it to remember. The 4D images are amazing. You can see every detail and I must say, we made a good looking baby 🙂 Toot has her dad’s perfect nose (lucky girl) and her mom’s chubby cheeks. Her little arms look so muscular, which made us laugh! As usual, she was dancing all over the place. It was pretty cool because it was the first time that I was able to see what she’s actually doing when I feel her move! Here she is about to scoot away from the camera:
It’s been about six weeks since we’ve seen Toot on ultrasound and I didn’t realize how much I missed her!! In a way, it reenergizes me and helps give me a little extra lift for the coming weeks. Toot looks perfect to us and it’s hard to believe that we’ll meet her in 10 short weeks. We want all the time in the world with our little girl, but hope and pray for even just a few minutes with her … she’s a fighter (she even had a great boxing pose!) and I am so proud of her for making it as far as she has. Despite the uncertainty of all this, she’s shown us that hope truly does spring eternal. We love our little girl so much and are beyond grateful to Patty for giving us the gift of spending as much time as we wanted just staring at her … we are so lucky to be surrounded by such great family and friends … thank you!!
