We Salute You Too Son!







Last Friday, I hit my 26 week mark...and I'm this () close to my third trimester....time has just flown by!

Saturday morning Josh woke up and decided he would like to see Caleb again, and of course, I had no objection! We called and made an appt the same day with the 3-D baby picture place and got to see what our little man was up to....

I may or may not have mentioned it, but my placenta attached to the front of my uterine wall (anterior placenta) therefore making it a little confusing to decipher what is what during ultrasounds and quite the challenge to get a clear image of the baby - for example:



In this case, not only was Caleb's face directly behing my placenta, it was also behind both of his hands, both of his FEET and what seemed to be miles of umbilical cord!!! So needless to say this was the trickiest one yet. However, we did see enough to know that our baby officially looks like a little baby....chubby cheeks and all, and that we loved!! We also got to see him smile, yawn, and even salute!!!

What a precious joy he has been to both Josh and I thus far....we can't begin to imagine the happiness that he will add to our lives once we meet him and really get to know him! Enjoy the pics!

Just a quick note that I didn't know, until recently...if in any of the 2D images (the black and white 'regular ultrasound image') you see anything that looks like Ruote or 'Cartwheel' Pasta...its the umbilical cord...for example....










Would you believe that Josh and I look at these pictures trying to determine who he looks like?? What do you think??? haha!!!

I think he looks like the best attributes of both of you, and I can't wait to see him too. I love these new 3-D pictures. Maybe you could post some pictures of his room so we could see the progress? And let me know if you want me to help paint anything. Love you both so much. Mom
