Cardio Kickboxer

We had our appointment with the Peri today and everything looked great. They baby is measuring on target and looks very healthy. What a praise and a blessing. He or she was incredibly active this morning. If it stays this active later on, I don't anticipate getting much sleep. The doctor asked if i had eaten cheerios for breakfast. You can see it has definitely grown from the previous pictures. Technology is so amazing to allow us to see all of this. I think after today it is finally becoming more real. It actually looked like a baby this time. I can only imagine what it will be like when i actually start feeling the movement. They gave me the all clear to go to Russia in November, so that was good. We will have 3 more appointments before i head out, and should be able to learn the sex of the baby before i go. He tried today, but was not able to determine. He said that sometimes they get lucky and can tell this early on. We got to see all the fingers and toes, the heart and brain and the blood flowing through the aorta. It was very cool. He said to bring a video tape when we come in for our next appointment and the will tape it for us. Again thank you all so much for your prayers for this precious little baby. We are so blessed to be surrounded by so many loving people.
