She’s Stubborn Already!! :-)

ella ultrasound 2.13.08ella u/s nose lipsHi everyone!

I had another ultrasound today.  Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks along – so hard to believe!  My belly is definitely expanding to accomodate this growing little girl! :-)

So, everything looked great in the ultrasound.  Thank You, Lord.  I am always grateful for good reports!  She is now 4lbs and around 16 inches (I believe).  She has gained 1 lb, 11 oz in the last 4 weeks!  (I didn’t even gain that much in the last month!!)  Anyway, she is right on track. 

As far as the stubbornness goes, she DID NOT want her picture taken!  (That sounds just like her Daddy, even though he tried to blame the stubbornness on me!)  We saw a quick glimpse of her face at the very beginning, but not even enough for the tech to snap the photo.  She then flipped face-down (toward my back) and refused to move for the rest of the time.  We did everthing to get her to move around – poking, pushing – even a trip to the bathroom, but she wouldn’t budge!  (Of course once I left, she was moving all over the place again!)  So, no pic of her face! :(   These are the best we got.  (Now the tech was able to get all the images she needed, so that was fine.)

The first is of her arm going up to her head.  The second is of her nose and lips!  :)   The arrow is pointing to them.

They do want to see me back in 4 weeks, so I will have another chance to see her before she is born! 

Just 8 more weeks till her due date!  Can’t wait to meet this sweet (yet stubborn) little girl!

Ultrasound #4

Ella’s ultrasound 1.16.08Thought you might like to see the latest photo of Ella!  (If you look straight at it, you will see her face!)  I had an ultrasound yesterday (1/16/08).  She looks great!  She is now 2lbs, 5 oz!  I will go back in 4 weeks for another one.  It is always amazing to get to glimpse into her world.  I can’t help but marvel at the way the Lord has created our bodies and what a miracle new life truly is!  And it makes me want to meet her that much more!  Can’t wait to see what she looks like, what kind of personality she has, etc.  What a gift!
