I've been reading to him. It's strange reading to my belly, but I just imagine my voice is soothing him and helping drift off into a sweet slumber. I'm reading my favorite book of poems from when I was wee, and my mom used to read them as bedtime stories to me. Old Possum's Books of Practical Cats. by T.S. Elliott was and always be my most favorite book of all time. Other books I've been reading are about learning all about babies, and how to take care of them. I won't bore you with them, but one of the best so far is The Happiest Baby on th Block.
My most recent appointment revealed a couple of things that my doctor saw that she wants to keep an eye on, so this requires me to go in twice a week for a test. It's a simple test, I just lay there, and they monitor baby's heart rate and whether or not I'm having any contractions (I don't think I am) and I click this little jeopardy buzzer thing every time I feel him move. I think these tests are more precautionary, but it is still very hard not to worry that there might be an issue. Anyway, please send positive thoughts and prayers my way, if it crosses your mind. Just that baby continues to grow and thrive as he's supposed to. It's much appreciated.
During the ultrasound, the technician flipped the screen over to the 4-D view. Amazing. No words. We saw this wonderful image of his sweet little face, and I can't quit looking at him. It's unreal the love I feel for him, and he isn't even here yet. He's perfect. I can't wait for him to be her so I can hold him in my arms.
This picture, you can see his face so clearly! It's so cool. He was waving his arm in front of his face, and it's a little blurry, but you get the idea. This, is my boy. My boy with no name. x.

That is the clearest ultrasound I've ever seen. Looks like he's got a face palm going. Doh!
The Mrs just took out what she thought was The Boy's ultrasound that she wants to use in a graduation slide show. I took a look at it and realized it was The Pudge instead (the date stamp on it was not near as clear as yours). But then we realized - who would know the difference? So in it went with the hundreds of other humiliating childhood pictures.
Oh the things you have to look forward too.
I wuff him vrry much
Good afternoon Kym,
That picture is better than some of the shots I took of mine after they were born.
Hopefully the Doc having to keep an eye on you with the extra tests has more to do with boat payments than your health.
Have you guys been working on a name? He's really going to need one eventually you know.
I guess the worry and love begins almost immediately. :-)
I wuff that you wuff him so very much.
xoxo. YES you're all in my prayers but he will be perfect.
Thanks for the update.
Amazing photo! I didn't know they were so clear.
"Troll" is a good name for a boy.
He looks very peaceful so I suspect the books are agreeing with him. So why did you rule out Elliot? And have I ever mentioned my fondness for the name Luke? I assume you do know none of us will be surprised if you end up naming him " Sooner"?
Sounds like your docs are careful and cautious. This is a fine thing.
I am sure we all continue to pray for the well being of your family.
Thanks for the progress report and Godspeed to you all.
