Baby love

Okay, I'll admit it. These last few months of constant nausea have not been easy.

But watching our new baby on ultrasound yesterday made it all worthwhile. Grampy graciously offered to watch the three girls all morning so that Dan could come to the ultrasound appointment with me (his first since I was pregnant with Beth!) Being AMA (Advanced Maternal Age, for those of you unfamiliar with the terminology!), and also because this will be my fourth c-section, I am now considered "high risk". Therefore, we had to travel over an hour to have a level two ultrasound with a physician. It was a long appointment, but we had so much time to just watch in amazement. We saw perfectly formed little fingers and toes. We saw the four-chambered heart beating away. We watched the baby stretch and turn, roll and wiggle. It was truly amazing.

We're almost half-way there! Now that the sickness has abated slightly, we're both starting to get so excited about our new little addition. Please continue to keep all of us in your prayers as the baby grows and develops and gets ready to meet his/her new family!
