2nd Ultrasound

Dearest Babe-
Yesterday, I fell in love with you all over again. Your Daddy and I got another glimpse of you and you have changed so much already. I know it is hard to tell from the ultrasound pictures, but you look like a real baby now. We saw your head, tiny body, your arm, and even a small hand. You moved around quite a bit for us and your heartbeat is going strong at 169 beats per minute. At one point, you even looked like you were hitting yourself in the head with your little hand. I imagine you were shaking your fist at us for disrupting your sleep with all of the poking and prodding. The ultrasound technician took all kinds of measurements and pictures which told Doctor Davis that everything looked good. The blood work came back with great results and that definitely put our minds at ease. I am trying not to worry to much about things I can't control, but my desire for you to be healthy and safe sometimes gets the better of me! You will soon learn that I am a bit of a worrywart, but I assure you it's only because I love you so much. We chatted briefly with Doctor Davis after the ultrasound and set up our next couple appointments. At the end of this month, I have a 16 week checkup which will be quick and easy. Just some more blood work and a few questions. Then on June 13th, we have our big ultrasound which makes sure all of your anatomy is developing the way it should. That ultrasound will be exciting, because you will be a lot easier to see and so much bigger! I can't believe that in June, my pregnancy will be half-way over. As excited as I am to meet you, I still feel selfish because I don't want to share you with the rest of the world yet! Here are some more pictures from yesterday's photo shoot:
