Answered Prayers
In my last post I mentioned wishing we could see more of our baby-to-be during our ultrasounds. Last Thursday marked the first in my series of weekly non-stress tests. Basically, I go in for a quick ultrasound so they can measure fluid levels and the little guy's growth and that's followed by 30-45 minutes of charting his heartbeat. The ultrasound tech was great saying, "Let me get what I need and then we'll have some fun." She took all the measurements and then spent 5-10 minutes just showing me what he looks like. It was wonderful. Our 4.5-pound-and-growing little one looked into the monitor and with tiny fists clenched underneath his chin stared straight ahead and blinked at us over and over again. It was the most amazing thing to see him "interacting"! I came home with a stack of pics she snapped of him with eyes opened and closed. I really needed to remember that I am having a whole baby, not just a heart :)!

I'm glad to hear your prayers were answered. I remember those non-stress tests as well. Your baby boy must be passing them with flying colors since you haven't mentioned otherwise. That's great! Take care, Sabrina
Oh that is so great you got to see him like that! I had stress tests with Wes..it was nice to check on him every week and make sure he was ok. I'm glad everything is going ok. I need to call you and chat. You are always in our prayers.
Love ya
What a treat for you. Isn't it so amazing to think that there is a interactive, spirited baby inside you? It is so wild...
