Medical Marvels

Well it was back to the doctor for Allison and baby (and this time daddy came too) this past Wednesday and to appease our far away families I just had to post the latest pictures. The baby is now 14 cm long and the ultra sound was so clear that the doctor even counted the fingers and toes with us! Everything looked normal and healthy, including a full stomach of amniotic fluid and thumb sucking motions (see the first picture for a close up of the baby's profile with the hand up near the mouth). I am just amazed at the medical technology that allows us to view our tiny child from all angles and watch it move around in real time! We left the doctor's elated and so encouraged by the exquisite design God has put into this whole process. The other realization that continues to strike us is that we are going to be parents! (Aahh!)

What wonderful pictures! We were always thrilled to get a sneak peek at our littles ones--even during the third pregnancy it was always amazing and I was always reminded of God's miraculous power and generosity of blessing.
