Thankful Thursday

Yippee for Thankful Thursday! Today we have a lot to be thankful for. Today we had our 20 week ultrasound and got to see that we have a healthy, beautiful baby growing in there. Phew.... I was beginning to wonder if it might be an alien. We decided not to find out the gender and because of that I was feeling like this ultrasound might end up being sort of anti-climatic since in all of the other times the 20 week ultrasound was exciting because you got to find out what you are having. Instead it was good to see the baby moving and having fun in there and get to see the little limbs and fingers and toes. When it came time for the technician to find out the gender (they want to check things are ok there too) we closed our eyes and it was sort of fun like waiting to open a gift. Only our gift wont be ready being wrapped until December 3rd or thereabouts.

Well maybe I spoke too soon: This picture of the face makes the theory of alien a little more plausible - oh well I am thankful for my alien baby.

I am thankful for a cute little leg with a little tiny foot on the end.
I am thankful for 10 fingers and 10 precious little toes. I am thankful for these two little feet.

I am thankful for a strong little arm that likes to nudge me to remind me how much I love him/her. I am thankful for this little arm bashfully covering its little baby face.

I am thankful for two little eyes, one little nose, and one sweet little baby mouth that all make up such a perfect little baby face.

It has been neat having such a fun thing to report on for Thankful Thursday. I am thankful to have two other perfect reasons to be thankful already in my family. And lastly I am thankful that Andrew could take some personal time off work to come and be there at the ultrasound with me.
