Perfect Baby........and she's still a girl!

With each pregnancy I am required to have an ultrasound each month to check up on the baby's growth and a few minor health concerns. I am at high risk for a few things such as a small baby (ha-ha for anyone who saw Annie when she was born) and some heart deffects. Bob and I used to spend lots of time worrying about these tests but after Annie came out perfectly it's hard not to have faith in God's wisdom. And we are blessed - yet again!

This is our baby girl waving to us. She holds her hands up by her face just like Annie used to in all of her ultrasounds. She waved to us and, I think, even smiled for us! She is gorgeous!
Another really clear picture of Caroline's face - how sweet is she?

Both kidneys are in working order, her heart has 4 chambers (we had a problem finding all four chambers at the last appointment so this was a relief!) and her cerebral cortex is HUGE (actually its average but I just like to say she has a big brain!) All concerns have been put to rest and in 2 weeks I start my twice weekly non-stress tests that will make sure that the baby is doing great since I am also at a high risk for stillbirth. It sounds scary but after my pregnancy with Annie I understand better that if the non-stress tests are reactive (the baby's heartrate goes up each time she moves) than it indicates a healthy baby and the second they think the baby is not reactive enough they wheel you to the hospital and deliver you - the docs are so good at this and so precise with their readings of the tests that this time I feel very confident in the whole process! AHH - a huge sigh of relief after today's results! Less than 90 days to go!

This is a shot of Annie's face 6 weeks before she was born - just thought you might enjoy a comparison - Caroline doesn't look much like her now but she's still a month or two behind her so we'll see!

Off to wish Auntie Beth a Happy Birthday!

She is so much older than me!

GNM - ILY!
