Baby's 1st Halloween!

BOO!!!



Our little girl didn't want to miss out on Halloween festivities just because she is in utero! So she decided to dress up as a creepy, but cute, little alien creature :) She's got so much personality already!


This one is a little hard to see, but her hand is up by her face and she's laying sideways. Can you see her? She was being so cute during this ultrasound! She kept opening and closing her mouth and rubbing her hands on her face the whole time. The nurse thought it was so adorable that she let us watch her in motion for awhile as she kept smacking her lips together. It was unbelievably precious. We are so lucky and love our little alien cutie so much already. :)


This is a side profile shot, you can see the outline of her nose and lips here. Again, kinda hard to see. I think we are already critical parents because Jesse's first words when he saw this pic were "she has an overbite!" Haha, going to the doctor is so much fun when you get to just watch your baby on the ultrasound the whole time.
These ultrasound pics were taken from the specialist that our regular doctor referred us to. He said that the bright spot on the heart is still there but reassured us LOTS of times that is really nothing to worry about. She is growing normally and everything looks beautiful. She is even growing 3 days ahead of schedule. The appt was at 23 weeks exactly, but she measured at 23 weeks and 3 days.
Mom's finally feeling a little better too now. I still have lots of the not so fun pregnancy symptoms but the constant nausea and vomiting has finally subsided (that was only supposed to last the first trimester). We've been keeping SUPER busy and are both SOOOOO excited for February 2009!

She is already so cute. We can't wait for February too!!! Glad you are feeling a bit better now.
Have you begun "nesting" yet? I have already begun day dreaming about putting up the crib and I can't help "shopping" on the computer at all the cute baby clothing sites. I love to pretend I can buy what ever I want and fill up the online shopping cart. I sent you an online coupon today to one of the stores. This month and next is a great time to get what you need, the sales are great!

HaHa that is so cute! Ultrasounds are so much fun, that's funny that this ultrasound had to look scary ha ha. Not really it's still really cute. Good luck with everything!
