The Big Ultrasound

I went to the hospital a couple weeks ago for my first ultrasound. The first one is always so exciting. Though, it's never as exciting as hearing the baby's heart beating for the very first time at that first prenatal visit. That sound is always so exhilarating. I think I might take the camera to my next visit to get a video of listening to the baby. I would just do an audio of it, but I don't know how to add audio without video on a blog. So, you all may just get a chance to see me and my big belly soon. :)

I didn't bother taking any pictures at the ultrasound appointment though. They always give a few images anyway. So, I will post those below. The ultrasound appointment is exciting in that we get an idea of how big the baby is and get to find out the gender (not that we care one way or the other). To me, it's a small glimpse into the baby's world. God is so amazing! I don't think it's as exciting for me though because I can't really see the images so I have to take the word of others around me. The fun part for me is that my children all seem to be a bit stubborn when it comes to being looked at, lol. We have a picture of my daughter pushing the ultrasound probe away from her. I don't remember if my son was as difficult to capture on the screen, but I remember him moving a lot. With this baby, his hands were always up by his face, so we couldn't get a good shot of his face. And, YES, I do keep making references to a boy. That's because it IS a boy. :)

So, everything looked good and all that, so we just wait for our next prenatal visit with the doctor. All is well. :)

Oh, goodness! How fitting is it that I'm sitting here talking about God's most precious gifts and miracles when the song 'God You Reign' comes on? Isn't His timing perfect, lol.

Many blessings to you all and I hope you enjoy the images below.
