lulucakes on the run

So, we have a new ultrasound picture to share.  I, honestly, can stare at this picture all day long.  Sometimes I sit at my desk and just catch myself daydreaming as I stare at this little one.  I wonder what it’ll be like to hold this little one up to my heart and rock him/her to sleep.  Or what it’ll feel like to walk holding his/her hand.  I also find myself staring at Kev wondering what features this baby will get from him.  I love my beautiful husband, I hope the baby comes out looking just like him and I hope he/she has his same sweet soul.

In the latest ultrasound I was 12 weeks 6 days, and you can see a fully developed baby!  Proof that God is an awesome and amazing God, to allow a human body the ability to create a life, in just a few short weeks.  I guess the saying, “they grow too fast” started here.  At 7 weeks, our first ultrasound just looked like a fuzzy piece of rice but the strong heart beat that we heard assured us there was a baby growing, almost 6 weeks later he/she has taken shape.  Amazing!

Baby Marsden is the size of a navel orange 4.5 inches!  We are 14 weeks, 3 days and just 25 weeks, 4 days left!  Seems like forever!  So, the application of What to Expect says, “baby is practicing sucking, swallowing and breathing”.  The best part about reading that is that when we went in for the last ultrasound we could actually see the baby’s tongue moving, so we know he/she is right on course!  ;)

I hope you can all see the new picture.  I love it!
