20 Week Ultrasound Pics of Our Baby Girl

We just found out that we are having a baby girl. That is three girls for us! They will all be two years apart and be celebrating their birthdays within 40 days of each other. Our newest baby girl is due Thanksgiving week. She is very healthy and we feel so fortunate that she will be part of our Helring crew in a few more months. Our doctor stated she weighs about a pound right now.  Ava and Charlotte attended the ultrasound appointment and are very excited to be big sisters. My best friend Aline also got to accompany us to this special appointment.

                                                                    Her little legs.

                                         She moved her arms a lot during the ultrasound.
                                         Here she had just crossed her arms in front of her.

                                          Toward the end of the appointment she was moving
                                           a lot more. This is the best profile picture we could get.

                                         It's hard to tell in this picture because of all the shadows.
                                        But she is yawning in this photo. Middle left shows her
                                        opening her mouth. Right side of photo is her torso. The
                                         rest of her face is shadowed.

                                         This photo is a little more difficult to decipher, but it's a
                                         photo of her face on the left facing us. She had just waved
                                         her arm over her face so you can see her arm bones over part
                                         of the center of her face. The rest of the photo on the left is her torso
                                         and I believe her left knee is brought up to her chest. That also might be
                                         the umbilical cord between her head and her knee. She was an active
                                         baby toward the end of our appointment. But for the most far she has
                                         been  less active than I remember Ava or Charlotte being. Ava was
                                         the most active. I am sure as the months progress I will feel her movements
                                         more often and stronger.
