Perfectly Healthy

Today we had our fetal survey. The baby weighs 8 ounces and is healthy. The ultrasound tech said she loved this baby and if we didn't want it, she'd take it. :) She said he/she has a lot of personality and she blew a kiss to it. She gave Preston and Emily their own profile picture of the baby and told them that they had to promise to pray for him/her every night. I let her know that they already pray for the baby every night and day. Preston didn't let his eyes off the monitor. Emily wasn't as thrilled as she was expecting to actually see the baby (probably in color and like it was on tv). We got to hear the heartbeat which was 147 bpm. The baby put its whole hand in its mouth a couple of times and waved at us once too. He/she is very active and started out on one side of my tummy and then moved over to the other side in the middle of the ultrasound. He/she has also been kicking a lot. Today was the first time I've been able to feel it kick on the outside of my stomach. Preston also was able to feel it kick too. We once again feel very blessed and humbled and can't wait to hold Baby C in our arms.
