Yesterday we had our ultrasound for the little one in my belly. It was by far, the best ultrasound I have had. The tech was hilarious and personable. She made it a very sweet experience for us.
As I was laying there watching this little one move inside me, I couldn't help but feel such an immense feeling of gratitude and love. Gratitude for having the opportunity to carry life inside me, to feel the baby move and to watch my belly grow from day to day. Love for our baby... love for our Father in Heaven... love for our Savior.
It is always amazing to me at the love I feel toward the life growing inside me. I have never met this person, (in this life anyway) and yet, I love this baby as if he/she were living and breathing outside of my body right this moment. How can that be?
This miracle of life is baffling to me. It is amazing to me that two people come together and create a completely separate individual. And that individual is living off of the nutrients I feed my body. WOW!
Everything looked great in the ultrasound. Baby kept putting his/her thumb into their mouth and kept hiccuping... it was so cute to watch. This is the sixth time I have had a prenatal ultrasound and yet, it was just as exciting and miraculous as the first!
I love looking at all the little body parts that they measure and check. The brain, heart, stomache, spine, hands and feet, etc. It is so awesome to live in a time where I can experience this!

Those pictures are awesome! I'm so happy everything looks good & you've got a healthy little one on its way! And I agree, it's so miraculous to have a little soul growing inside. And there is nothing like the love of a mother!
Dani!!! I am so excited for you guys! Congrats on #5! You guys are amazing! Guess what? We are prego again together :)... I am due February 12th. When is your due date?
I don't know how I missed that you had posted. I just checked in here because I was thinking about you... and there was your ultrasound. I am so happy things look great. That is most important! I am assuming since there was no mention, that we are not finding out what we are having? You are a stronger woman than I! I have this incessant need to know!
What do you need? What can I bring you? A peppermint chocolate shake from Chick-fil-A? Mmmmmmmm. I would love to be of help!
