Sissy loves B!

We had a 3D/4D Ultrasound done this morning before work. It was one of my favorite things to do with B because I wanted him to be able to look back and see what he looked like in my belly. It just fascinates me. I know there's a whole controversy about ultrasounds and people feel strongly both ways. I do not. After reading the research and studies and knowing that my doctor only gives one (except at the beginning to find out how far along I really was since we didn't know), I feel okay with the decision to do the 4D. It was confirmed that it's a girl. I made sure before we paint her room next week!

It was amazing to watch her movements and to feel them at the same time. I now know EXACTLY when she is stretching by watching the screen (and of course, my bladder). She is mostly head-down, but can still move. She loves to cuddle with the placenta and sucks her thumb and plays with her toes. She also smiles EVERY time B gets near my belly and talks. She doesn't smile if it's me or Daddy T, but only with B. They already have a bond! I bet she really smiles when he gets into trouble! Oh her time will come, I'm afraid. She has a little hair already (which is good) and her profile looks more like Daddy T. However, she does look like B from what we could tell. She moves constantly and doesn't sit still (confirmation for Daddy T so he didn't think I was crazy talking about how she never stops). You could see her open and close her eyes. That was fascinating to me. I just couldn't believe that she was doing all of these baby-like things that she'll do outside the womb. I know it's to be expected, but to see it is amazing. Just like childbirth. It's just one of God's many miracles, but I find it simply amazing. Something that no human can reproduce and claim credit to. Made in the image of God.


Pictures with her eyes open. The placenta is a little in the way, but she was all snuggled with it.




Her heartrate was at 133 bpm. Much better than from 2 weeks earlier and the glucose test! We'll see what her heartrate is this afternoon at my doctor's appointment.
