Baby Photoshoot

Yesterday morning we dropped the boys off with my sister and were off to our ultrasound appointment.  Even though I had to drink about a 1/2 gallon of water beforehand, I still enjoyed every moment of it.  

I had picked out a little pink card, with a blue envelope, and wrote in it quickly before our appointment, "God has blessed you with a sweet, little baby..." and we handed it over to the ultrasound tech for her to write out the rest of the card for us and seal it up.  When we first found out we were pregnant, we were toying with the idea of not finding out ahead of time whether this baby is a boy or girl.  Now, we are pretty sure we'll find out ahead of time, but we're just waiting for the right time.  :)  

For now, we just loved seeing our little one in action.  Here are some of our favorite pictures from baby's little photoshoot!  

Sweet baby.  The ultrasound tech used measurements of baby's head, spine, torso & legs to determine our baby weighs about 9 ounces (50% percentile).  At the time of the appointment, our baby's heartbeat was nice and strong at 141 bpm.  She also said that I'm measuring right on track with my due date... maybe just one day off or so.

Looks like baby has his/her hand up to its mouth here!  

Baby's precious footprint  :)  

Our little one might be a gymnast!  Foot/leg is up by baby's head!  

In other baby news, last night Andrew got to feel the baby move for the first time!  I wasn't sure if the movements I'm feeling were only internal, or if they could be felt with his hand on my tummy.  Sure enough, he felt every kick and movement that I did!  :)   So fun!  Isn't God so good?
