revelation

we had our final ultrasound today.  the report was good!  sweet little Baby H is catching up with her growth, although still a little small for her age.  but we're small people. . .so hey, only makes sense.  and all of her organs and parts seem to be growing just fine. . .especially her brain.  it's measuring slightly ahead of the rest of her body.  she's gonna be a little smarty pants.  

usually our ultrasound appointments involve Adam and I staring at the screen with the perinatologist explaining what each thing is, but us not really seeing much.  and then we walk out with a couple of blurry photos of bits and pieces of body parts that we can't really identify.

today was different.  suddenly the screen was filled with a face.  a real human face.  i got goosebumps and Adam's jaw dropped.  and we walked out of the office with this amazing photo of our baby girl.
and suddenly everything feels different. . . real.  there's a real little person bouncing around in my belly.  she's perfect.  and we are filled with love and excitement for her arrival.

How lovely is her little face...
I think she looks a lot like her beautiful aunt from the country!
