A peek into her world at 19 weeks

I never got an image like this with Elyse and the tech mentioned that she would look scrawny at just 19 weeks but we were still amazed.  Delicate features and perfect little hands resting comfortably right in front of her.  The scan went well and she got the healthiest rating possible and weighs a scale tipping 9 ounces.

The scan took awhile because baby girl wasn't wanting to show the right parts at the right times but with some maneuvering of mommy and a little coaxing they got all of the images they needed.  I like that it took awhile because we got to see her for so long.  I felt like an intruder peeking into her private little world and was in awe of the miracle happening beneath my skin.  I don't feel her nearly as much as I could feel Elyse at this same gestation because my placenta is anterior this time so it's acting as a cushion against all of her movements.  The placenta is about 1.5 pounds, almost 3 times the size of her, so that explains the cushion aspect.  She will grow much bigger than the placenta before long though, so I know I'll be feeling those elbows and kicks fiercely soon enough. 

She was also confirmed girl of course.

We're almost half-way to meeting her!
