Pictures

Yesterday Spencer and I had our final ultrasound before Tuesday. I was really hoping that 1- We'd get the ultrasound tech who always seems to manage to get great pictures of Isaac, and 2- that Isaac would turn his little face so we could see it. We were blessed by both of these things at yesterday's appointment.

I couldn't believe how big Isaac has gotten. Granted, I am carrying him around and so in some ways I do know, but to see his face and how it looks like such a real person with fully developed features, chubby cheeks, and even a little sense of humor was just amazing. I know I will be even more amazed on Tuesday.

In this first one I love just how chubby his little cheeks are...


In this one, he is sucking his fist. He kept trying to put his whole hand in his mouth. I know that's not too clear in the picture, but it was pretty obvious on the screen.

Spencer and I both really like this one... and we decided pretty quickly that he has my nose and Spencer's lips.


This last one is a little blurry, but I love the little fishy face he's making. A few people have told us that it looks like he's puckering up to give us a kiss!


I can't wait to hold him and just stare at his little sweet face for real.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us as Tuesday approaches. Please pray that we're able to enjoy this weekend together as a family and that we are able to make that time special. We're a little limited in things we can do, because I am supposed to be taking it really easy since I am still having pretty consistent braxton hicks contractions despite the terbutaline. Please also pray that we would just be enveloped by God's perfect peace... I know that nothing else can calm the fear, anxiety, and anticipation of the upcoming days. Please pray that amidst the sadness, we would still be able to experience the joy of meeting your first child for the first time. And please don't stop asking for a miracle; we know it's not too late.
