23 wk little girl

today we went to the doctor for our january appt. we had to repeat our ultrasound because last month they found cysts in her brain. they expected them to be gone by now so they wanted to check. praise God the left one was gone, and the right one is half the size it was. so they believe it is on it's way out. they don't even feel the need to do another scan. 

after they checked her brain and her growth they let us look at her for a while. she is so active she was making us all laugh. then the tech said...let's see if she will cooperate and let us look a little closer. she switched the screen so we could watch her move in 4d and she was capturing 3d images. it was such an awesome gift because i know they don't normally do that. 

she made that tech really work hard. just like every other ultrasound we have had she wants to keep her hands at her face. she touches and rubs her face and touches her head. we were amazed watching her move in 4d. there was so much activity- kicking, stretching, moving her head all around. it made both of us cry. 

the tech had such a hard time getting her to put her hands down. she kept taking the wand and shaking my belly saying "come on little girl, let us see your face". she took this picture of her hands- this is from the front, with her hands in front of her face. her left hand is putting her fingers in the palm of her right hand. 

this is her profile. there is a lot of interference in these pics because she said she was really close to the uterine wall. but we were still very pleased with these images. i love her little nose in this one.

safe in her house. such a beautiful little one. it was such an amazing appointment- we had so much fun spending time with her. i am also doing well- everything checks out well. next month i have to do my glucose testing and we soon need to sign up for our class/hospital tour...which should be fun/terrifying. i have three weeks left of my 2nd trimester and have been so very blessed to be feeling well. i am enjoying our time together, looking forward to what is to come.
