20 weeks pregnant/ baby girl

August 26 2013

Here is my sweet little girl growing away. She is moving now enough for me to feel her now.  I love this feeling and have been waiting to feel it again.  It is one of my favorite things about being pregnant.  

Luke needed to have his pic taken too.  

I visited the  perinatologist (a OB/GYN for high risk pregnancy cases), even though I am not high risk, they like you to visit one for your 20 week ultrasound.  There they checked the nucal fold, heart chambers, palates, for cleft lip, the brain, stomach, blood flow to the kidneys, the cord, limbs, fingers, and toes.............Everything looked perfect, but I was quite entertained and busy asking many questions as I love this stuff and Dr. Ibrahim was able to answer all my Momma questions and my regular curiosity questions as well.  

Anna is measuring 5 days bigger (20 weeks and 6 days) than her due date says (20 weeks and 1 day).  At 12 ounces we were able to see her little face and see her trying to suck her thumb.  

I came home to my other munchkins and just marveled that I had similar journeys with these two.  Then I remembered the differences in both of their births, their growth, their personalities and strengths, and how God uniquely forms and gives us our story.  I am one blessed Momma. 

Even down to different skin tones.  I don't know why I haven't ever noticed this so specifically before. 

I am thankful that they are brothers, and am so excited that we will be able to grow as a family as HE introduces a sister into the family.
