It's a healthy baby!
We went in for the "review of systems" ultrasound today. Even without reason for worry, I had "normal" mommy fears that something could be wrong. During the 40+ minute ultrasound, the tech showed us all the baby's parts (with the exception of the gender-revealing ones!) and it was truly amazing to see everything in place and functional.
Later, during my doctor visit, Dr. Bergstrom asked if I was scared by pregnancy. I knew what he meant and admitted my fears.
He added that it's amazing that as many pregnancies are uncomplicated as they are, given all the potential things that could go wrong. What a blessing it is to have our friend and brother, Dr. Roy, alongside us again during this miraculous process.
I'm still in awe of the miracle of it all! We are so blessed with a healthy 3-year-old (who just had his first bout of strep this week), and now a healthy baby! Although I'm really hoping for a girl, I'm delighted already in having a "normal" child. God is so good!
Technology is so amazing too. We got a disc of the exam with selected pics and videos. The baby is very active and in this clip "waves" for the "camera". We're excited to meet baby "EBS" (Eli's baby sibling) around the end of March/early April (hopefully not a Fool)!
