picture time!

hey guys! i went to my 20 week appointment today...the sono intensive one where they look at all of her organs one by one to make sure everything looks good. and everything is PERFECT! :)hooray! so pray that she stays super healthy!

the appointment was so much fun. i was sad that drew couldn't be there, but was able to get a lot on video so he could still 'be there'. unfortunately, i won't be able to load the video...it's on VHS. i'm gonna have to find someone to transfer it to DVD before that can happen. our little one was such a performer today! she was stretching her legs out as much as she possibly could, which meant she was kickin my bladder--she likes to tap dance on it. actually, we caught her tapping her foot against it! and i thought maybe i'd been feeling her move, but wasn't sure. well, while we were looking at her she got the hiccups! and the hiccups must have scared her because she immediately kicked HARD! and that's when i confirmed that i have been feeling her move! most of the video she's burying her head in my organs trying to flip around....and her bum is up in the air! but at one point, she threw her head back, and slung her hand up on her forehead as if to say, "oh! this diva needs a break from all the paparazzi!" ha! apparently we've got a little drama queen on our hands! we're gonna have to nip that one in the bud real fast! :) but today was by far my favorite appointment. it's the first time i got to hear the heartbeat....weird, right? i'm so sad drew missed it! if i would've been on top of things, i could've recorded it on my phone for him....but of course i wasn't. :(

ok, this picture is the one where her head is thrown back and her little hand is on her brow! you can see her spinal cord, and her chest puffed out! and her little nose sticking up in the air (hopefully she's got drew's nose!)



this picture is kind of like a skeletal outline of her face....since her skin is so thin, you could see right thru her eyelids to her eye balls! kinda freaky! but still adorable. see the little bow drawn with dots on her forehead?



that's all for now! hope you all had as exciting of a wednesday as we did!

She's beautiful... from what I can tell! ;-) Sounds like the past couple of days have been good. ;-)
