A Sneak Peek...

After much anticipation, we have the 3D Photos! We got to spend some time admiring our little girl on Tuesday. Unfortunately, she slept through it for the most part, so we couldn’t get her moving much – but we definitely got to see her! She was facing forward in a breech position (nothing to be concerned about yet – she will be moving around for several more weeks). Even though we were viewing her on a monitor, it was wonderful! We got a DVD to take home, as well as several pictures. If you haven’t seen these before, be aware that it is normal for the baby to look swollen. The picture is taken through the amniotic fluid and is somewhat distorted (she’s also swimming in that stuff – so of course she’s got some puffiness!).
The pictures are definitely not as clear as the image was on the screen - but they are beautiful to us, none the less. It is amazing to me that it’s her that has been kicking me from the inside and rolling around in my tummy. Before – when we only had the regular ultrasound photos - she was amazing. But now… it is so different. I have seen her cute little ear (I want to kiss it already) and her sweet little toes. I have an idea of what her face looks like. It’s up in the air who she looks like, though. I see some of her Daddy in her and Andy thinks she looks like me. We’ll see when she gets here.
The first one is my absolute favorite. She's so beautiful.


It's hard to see unless you're an ultrasound pro, but more confirmation that she's a "she"


This is a picture of her foot, her face and then her heartrate - a perfect 140, once again.


Earlier on Tuesday, I had to take my three hour glucose test. It was LONG and there were four other women there doing the same thing. I should find out the results next Wednesday at our OB appointment. Please say a prayer for us if you think of it! I know some of you already have because I feel very at peace about it. I know that God knows our little girl already and that He has control of the situation – He has told me in so many ways… but that is another entry for another day…
