Baby Update

Just wanted to give an update on our little baby. A few weeks ago, we had an ultrasound for the baby. The baby looked perfect, and cute. And it is still a surprise, although it was so hard not to peek.

The baby's profile
 Another profile, but with the arms and legs. You can even see a little pout. This is one is my favorite.
 This one is of the face, and head.
It was wonderful to see the little on that has been kicking and moving inside my belly. It seems like this baby moves way more than I remember Brady moving. (kicking right now, in fact.)

After the ultrasound we had an appointment with our doctor to go over the ultrasound. Turns out there is a white spot on the baby's heart. Which my doctor seemed very calm about. She said I would have another ultrasound with a perinatologist, or specialist, in a few weeks. 
That seemed fine to me, and we were/are completely at ease with it. Only until looking into it a little on the Internet, did I learn that this can be a marker for down syndrome. Though I am glad I know this, it strangely does not worry me at all. We have never wanted to have any testing anyway for any markers because it changes nothing for us. God has shown us how faithful He is, and that this is first His child, that He created. I am just excited to be able to see the baby again, which otherwise, we probably would not be able to see the baby again until it is born.  

So I will keep you updated, and let you know how our baby is next Thursday. Prayer doesn't hurt, but we already know that this baby is perfectly created by God. Thank you Lord!

  1. Exciting to see the little one! Your trust in the Lord's plan is just what He desires! I pray the doctor has wisdom as they analyze the ultrasound and that the Lord prepares your hearts for whatever He has planned! Praise Jesus for this precious little life!
