Well, here is our official proof- we are having a little girl! They wrote it on the photo and everything, so it must be true.
Here is her cute profile before I show you some amazing, yet disturbing 3D images.
Here she is not wanting her picture taken.
But she relented and let us get some good shots in 3D. The ultrasound technician pointed out that she still needs some fat on her body before she is truly a cute little critter, but she sure looks cute to me (if not a little freaky in these images).
Jer and I think this one is the cutest, even though she seems to be missing the top of her head.
Our little wiggle butt is doing great and growing right on schedule! The bad news? Our high risk Dr thinks that if I don't get my health under control she may be at risk in the third trimester. Apparently that is when she may have trouble growing thanks to my active Crohns. Boo. My health has been bad lately and I hate to think about it hurting our little girl. It makes me really sad and worried since he is so worried about her, and I know it is not good to be in such a bad flair while pregnant. It is also taking it's tole on me of course, which is also pretty hard to deal with sometimes.
I'm working on getting it under control, but at least for now she is healthy and active. So so active! Two of my sisters have even gotten to feel her kick! I am so grateful for this chance to be her mommy. Only 19 more weeks to go and we will be meeting her!!!!
A quick note about my husband because I think it is worth stating. Jer has been able to make it with me to every Drs appointment yet thanks to the fact that he works from home, and it is a truly wonderful blessing to have him there. Jer has spent more time in hospitals with me over the years than we can count. When I was in and out of the ER years ago, he was up with me all night, and he would still have to make it into work the next morning. I'm not quite sure how he did it, but the way he has dealt with my illness and always been there for me is absolutely amazing. He has always supported me and loved me through the hard times in such a magical, beautiful way.
Now, at every ultrasound, he sits really close to me, pets my arms and kisses me softly on my hands and cheek when the baby moves. He does this without even really noticing he is doing it. He is enjoying seeing the baby, but he is also enjoying knowing that he has made me so happy by giving me this perfect little girl. I couldn't ask for a better man to share my life with an I just need to take the time to say thank you as much as possible for all he does and all he is. There is not another person in the world I would rather be so madly in love with, or be aloud to spend the rest of my life with, then him. I am so glad he will be the main male influence our daughter will have. He is my medicine and my safety net. I love him so so much, I can hardly believe he is a real person sometimes.
So that's life. There is beauty and there is pain, but right now I am mostly focused on the beauty and really do recognize how lucky I am to be given this chance to be a mom. I love to sit quietly with my little girl and feel her move and I know she is going to be safe and happy. I am going to do my best to help her to be strong, creative and most of all kind. I am so excited to see who she will be, but I know she will be perfect no matter what!
