We have still been busily working to get everything ready for the arrival of our little one, now almost just 70 days away, and counting!! We still have a little to do, however, for the most part, it's coming together smoothly! Yesterday was an amazing day, as we saw our son for the first time, well, for what "seemed real!" We did the 4-d Ultrasound and it was truly amazing. He definitely has Jared's mouth, we all came to that conclusion. And yes, I say all because we ALL went...Me, Jared, Momma, Daddy and Gret! It was so special to have them there and they enjoyed it as well. Of course, Mom cried, Gret was amazed and I think Dad was just so glad to see that it was still, for sure, a boy!! He looked happy, snug and healthy, and I pray he remains that way. We don't know how truly blessed we are to have healthy children. Here are a few pictues from the past appointments and our little boy, as he continues to grow and grow! We just can't wait to kiss his face!!!! (Don't be alarmed, the circles on his forehead are the soundwaves from the ultrasound...we asked the same question!)
His BEAUTIFUL face!
He wouldn't let us see him from the front!..And, yes, those are the soundwaves!
He kept his hands on his face!
Giving Mommy & Daddy the peace sign! He was moving his little fingers!
Sucking his thumb!
And his feet!
His arms, once again, in front of his face!
Arms again!
Eyes wide open!!!
