22 Weeks

Also, I couldn't resist this girly cuteness.



Baby Sister Update

Great appointment today - Praise the Lord!

The details:

My due date by ultrasound has changed at every appointment, but I'm 22 weeks today going by my very first ultrasound at 6 weeks.

Judging by today's ultrasound, the baby is measuring 22 weeks 6 days and weighs an estimated 1.3 pounds.

Heart rate was 156 when the doctor checked it, but 170 when the ultrasound tech checked it.  Baby Girl was bouncing around and exercising and would not be still - causing the increase in heart rate.

She was waving and extending one of her legs and foot straight out at one point.  I couldn't help but think of my 6'4 husband and carrying his tall daughter in my short body.  Maybe pictures are a bit decieving, but she was so much bigger this time than last time and really looked like a real baby.

Everything checked out good and seems to be progressing smoothly and on target.

I go back for my 26 week appointment on January 7th.

Oh, and she still has no name.  We must work on that because "new baby" just isn't going to cut it much longer.

And for the record, John McRae fully acknowledges that there is a baby sister in my belly, but he still wants her to be an elephant.  I can't believe by the time this baby is born, my sweet baby boy will be a four year old BIG boy.  It's amazing that one heart can hold so much love, but mine does and I'm so very, very thankful for these kiddos.

Thanks for the prayers, everyone.

XOXO,

Stacy
