It's a...


Well, we didn't find out if it's a boy or a girl baby. But we DID get to see every other inch of our little baby today at our 20-week sonogram, and we drank it all in. The sonogram was at my maternal-fetal specialist's office, so we felt like we got to see a lot more of the detail than we did with our other two. The little heart with its four chambers... the brain... hand with five fingers... the two bones in each leg... feet... knees... and of course the creepy straight-on face shot. They had us look away when they got to "that" part so that we wouldn't accidentally see anything, if there was anything to see. I felt like I could have sat and watched the baby wave his/her hands in front of his/her face forever - and I loved feeling the baby move at the same time as I saw it on the screen. Yes, I know it's the third pregnancy - but it still feels just as special as the first time. It also brought back a memory of my dad when I emailed him the first sonogram we had done of Skyla - he sent me a really sweet email and said all he could think about was the scripture verse "You have knit me together in my mother's womb... I am fearfully and wonderfully made." It's so amazing to see how God truly does knit together the baby week by week and month by month. We fell in love with this baby today...
