Let's play 'What's between the legs?'

This week's checkup went great. Praise the Lord!! It was a pretty quick, routine visit. The usual blood, urine, weight, blood pressure were taken, and Nurse Judy took an ultrasound to get the baby's heartbeat. As soon as she put the control on my tummy, this is what we saw:

How sweet is that little foot? Just for fun, she measured the foot - 2.23 cm!! Wow, Lord, can your creation be any more amazing? I'm blown away, truly. In our household, "pigs" are special, and we were so happy to see our little one's cute piggie wiggies. They kind of look big, huh? See the thigh at the bottom of the picture, well, then baby Pete proceeded to cross his legs, just like he was having some coffee and reading the paper! Ha! It tickled me. Nurse Judy is not an ultrasound technician, but she said she's never seen that. Heehee. He's so cute. I can't believe how long his legs have grown since 3 weeks ago - and certainly since the precious gummy bear picture from the first visit. The kid likes showing off his feet, huh? Remember how tiny they were then?

The top picture, below shows the heartbeat. Can you see the arm and hand? The baby's hands were up to his face the whole time. This one looks like he's had a rough day. Haha! The bottom picture kind of shows his long legs. Doesn't it look like the face was pointing towards us?

And here's a sweet shot of his beautiful profile. His head is to his chest, very fetal position. Hey, it's comfortable to me, too!

And, as usual, last but not least - what do you think is between the legs?

Our next doctor's appointment is September 14. We will get to see baby Pete's organs and do a "gender check". =)

Brad leaves for India tomorrow morning. I will miss him terribly! Especially as the little guy moves around every day (did you know they sleep on a 40 minute sleep cycle?). He'll be back September 6, and until then, I am pleased to share him with the precious Indian people God has called him to. I cannot wait to go there myself and meet Monica, the little girl we sponsor. Please pray for the team's boldness, effectiveness, health, safety, and unity. Here's the blog they'll be posting on: http://partofindia2009.blogspot.com/
