I can't stop this feelin' deep inside of me

It is amazing to feel the baby move multiple times every day!! I can't quite explain what it is like, but it's so neat. Finally, here are the pictures from our last ultrasound....


On the right you can see her face, looking right at you...posing for the camera already! Her hands can be seen in the middle on top and bottom and her abdomen is to the left. I could not believe we cought her SMILING!!!

The Ultrasound specialist liked the pic of her smile so much he took a second one for us 9 seconds later. I will never know what has made her smile so much in the womb, but every time I see these pictures it makes me smile, too.

This one's a little blurry because she was moving all around, but you can see her head on the right, her arm sticking up in the middle, and her legs to the left.

You may or may not know this, but the name Abigail means "Father's Joy" which I think is so fitting. Michael could not be more excited!! Her middle name is also joy, because she gives an extra burst of joy for me, too. Our beautiful little Abigail Joy!! Praise the Lord for a healthy and happy baby - even in the womb.

We're having a girl!! Ultrasound of Abigail at 5 months along!

It's A GIRL!!! See the video of our 5 month ultrasound.

Abigail is 1 pound, and at 24 weeks.

Our sweet lil Abigail... See her head, her arms, her legs, her body, her feet and her fingers!

We were so excited to see our little one!

Ultrasound Day!

So, we have gotten the chance to see our baby lots within the last two days. Wednesday we had an ultrasound scheduled, which went well. They took all the measurements and we got to find out - It's a Girl!! She weighs about one pound now and is doing great. They tried to take a video for us, but when we got home we found out it didn't work. I was so dissapointed! I was really looking forward to sharing the experience. But we did get one picture...

Here you can see her head on the left, one hand in the top middle and her spine on the bottom.

The next day at lunch we decided to call the hospital to let them know our video didn't work and to let them know they may want to check their equipment. Just a little while later we got a call back from them wanting us to come back for another ultrasound. They said that the video is part of the experience and they would like to offer it to us. So, of course we went back on Thursday for another ultrasound. We will post the video and pics from this trip as soon as we can. It was such a great experience, and so unexpected!
