It never stops to amaze me what a miracle and a blessing little babies are. When I was lying there on the table with this little hand held joystick being maneuvered all over my tummy and our little baby was appearing on the screen for us to see, the emotions were overwhelming. This little breathing life is growing inside of me, and will soon emerge into this world...a little of Kevin, and little of me, whom we will hopefully nurture into a God loving man or woman, and teach the ins and outs of life. Wow...what a responsibility.
For those of you who have never had the opportunity to see a baby in the womb via ultrasound...I am sorry. It is the most amazing thing I have ever seen! Our little babe was lying there, heart pumping, legs and arms a-flailin', and head nodding, in it's nice cosy environment. In fact...The baby was so content in it's little environment that the ultrasound technician had a hard time getting any profile shots. She would talk to the baby and say..."okay little one, I just need you to lift your head a bit" and sure enough...on cue...the baby would nod it's head "no". Then we finally got a good view of the face, and baby immediately covered it's face with it's arms. Fine...don't cooperate. Oh well...we got one good shot, and I thought I would share it with you all! (It's the same scan...I just thought I'd rotate it so you can see the profile a little easier. If you look to the left of the picture, or the top depending on which one you're looking at...you can see the babies arm trying to cover it's face!)

It's pretty stinkin' amazing, isn't it??? Glad to hear everything is healthy and can't wait to find out what that little one is! I am so impatient--we never would have lasted. I HAD to know. :) Glad to hear there's only one in there, too. They thought I was having twins--WHEW! Can't imagine trying to figure that one out! We would moving back to the valley for sure! I would need all sorts of help from family & friends! Hope things continue going well! Loved seeing the pictures! :)
Congratulations!!! Too exciting. =)
