First detailed ultrasound




Today, as a family we got to watch our fourth child dance around on a computer screen while the ultrasound tech tried to take his/her length and head measurements. What an active little soul! The baby is about four inches long right now and has all five fingers, at least on one hand. He/she is measuring exactly on schedule--the due date, Feb. 15th, is now permanent. In 7 more weeks we will find out if our baby is a boy or girl. Something always happens to me when I see the baby on the monitor and hear the heartbeat. Of course, I've been dealing with the reality every day battling the nausea and fatigue, but to see his little squirming body always makes me tear up.

  1. I'm so happy for you! There is something so magical about those first images! I can't wait to find out if it will be a boy or a girl, but either way he/she will be just as darling as your other kids!
