Babes

This is the babes during the Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound I had last month. My Dr. wanted to be sure I had all the treatment done I had with Caleb because of my history with Ryan. I don't think it's that necessary really, since it was not hereditary. But I understand her reasoning. Everything looked great! So that was very reassuring, but, the week before I was a nervous wreck, couldn't sleep, couldn't stop thinking about what if's. In my mind I would tell myself, everything will be fine, I won't have to deal with losing another baby, no way would I be given that. But then, my mind goes to back to, well maybe I would be given that. Sky's the limit now! It makes me sad that every pregnancy after Ryan has and will be so different than the innocence I felt carrying Jonathon. I was so naive then, and wish I could be again. Now reality is definitely apart of pregnancy and daily life. Each day is such a gift, I think and acknowledge that everyday. When I saw the babes on the screen, the little heart beating, little legs and arms flailing around, I was so amazed, again, for the fourth time around, at what a miracle our children are. Made by love. When the sonographer started measuring the fluid levels in the neck I was frozen. I knew what to look for this time and when I saw her measurements I sighed in relief at the numbers and so did she. She said, I can't tell you specifics because that's the radiologists' job, but I will tell you that these are normal numbers :) Many bricks fell off my shoulders that day and I pray that at the anatomy ultrasound this Friday all other body parts are normal and functioning well. Can't wait to see if it's a little princess or another prince!
