PTL

Praise the LORD!!

We had our 24 week Level 2 ultrasound yesterday where the main focus was making sure the heart had formed correctly.  It is a pretty in depth ultrasound that lasts about 30 minutes or more.  There is a lot of pressure on the belly as they move the wand around quite a bit to be able to see everything in detail.  

The technician kept saying things like, 
"Your baby rocks!", 
"wow, just beautiful." 
"check out that beautiful heart!"
"so pretty"
"yeah you have an awesome baby in there."

These are things we were pretty sure about already, but it was such a reassurance to hear that everything was checking out just fine.  The baby was very active and moving around - she even looked directly at the camera, smiled and waved it seemed...

Thank you so much for each and every prayer!!!  Our God is such a good God and His hand on this little life is such a beautiful thing to behold.  We are getting so excited to meet little Baby Liss.  But also very much wanting her to stay "in the oven" as long as possible -- so continued prayers are appreciated.  With the diabetic concerns as well as having a history of preeclampsia, it is likely that they will want to induce around 38 weeks.  Which makes due date closer to my birthday (9/17).  Not all bad... but i am just remembering the horrific disappointment of being induced twice with Judah because he wasnt ready yet!  I really appreciate the super sensitivity of the doctors, but I also am like, PEOPLE!, God has got this.  Simmer down! :-) 

I am rambling... so without further ado--- meet the 24 week cutie pie

this is her looking at the camera and waving... precious!
