A Sneak Peak

This pregnancy has been surreal. Maybe it's the fact that I'm distracted by chasing my 2-year-old around all day, but it often isn't until the end of the day (when I finally am still) that I think about the life forming inside me.
Having an ultrasound is completely remarkable. The pregnancy seems so much more real now. Maybe I rely on the visual side of life too much, but it feels like now the proof is in. I have the pictures to show for it:


What a relief to watch as the ultrasound tech. carefully marks all the vital organs and important body parts. I love to watch as they take snap shots of every possible angle of the head and the face (most of which look like it's an alien baby). I couldn't help but notice the technician's joyful expression through the entire process. What a fantastic job that would be...to be able to see beneath the surface everyday and view life in the womb.

I marvel at what God has done in my life...what He's doing now, and at the little person that He is shaping inside of me. By the way...it's a girl. :)

What a treat to get to see pictures of your baby girl! I will have to be satisfied seeing yours as I most likely won't be having one done this time around again because of the Home birth process.It's really neat to be having our babies around the same time. How are you feeling? Is your baby pretty active? I'm doing well. I feel the same as you in that this pregnancy is kinda surreal being busy with Sabria. I love feeling the baby kick and move around, it makes the whole thing become more real to me.
Love ya! ~Krista
