Pictures!!

The ultrasound went wonderfully yesterday! We were told to bring a VHS tape and they could tape part of it for us, but the machine was not working so we had to just settle with pictures. We have a very active baby, it was moving all over, punching me, and opening and closing his/her mouth. It was very entertaining. We are just amazed how much you can see, we were able to see the aorta, and chambers of the heart...just so amazing how its all coming together. The heart rate was 120 which is much lower than the past ( first 164, then 145)..paul says it has to be a boy. Whatever the gender, it is already listening well to me b/c i have been jokingly telling it to keep its legs crossed, and that is just what it did. I was so nervous i was going to see something. The tech didnt get to see a few different things very well so we will be having another ultrasound in 8 weeks just to make sure everything is good. The doctor told us that everything looked good and right on track. He showed us the scale of normal weight at this point and we are just above the 50th percentile, so now im praying it stays around there, and that this is not a sign of a big baby to come!! 


I have been feeling well, just get tired a lot more often then i ever used to, part of it may be that i just dont sleep as well anymore. Seems every night when i crawl into bed the baby starts moving around like crazy! What a blessing it is though to feel that little life! i wouldnt trade it for the world. This weekend we are heading to Nashville, TN for a youth workers convention, so i am praying that i will do well on the long drive and less sleep, but we are looking forward to learning a lot. 


Alright enough from me...here are the pictures!!
