Here's looking at you, kid!

We had our final ultrasound of this pregnancy (hopefully -- assuming all continues to go well) this week. Chris and I were nearly giddy with excitement waiting for this appointment as we couldn't wait to see what JJ is looking like these days.

Well, as usual, he did not disappoint!

Our appointment was scheduled to make sure my low-lying placenta had moved into the right position for a normal birth, and as an added bonus we could get a sneak peek at our little turtle. Luckily for us, the placenta had moved and JJ was measuring right on schedule (weighting in at about five pounds) and looking great! He was sleeping for most of the ultrasound, giving us a great view of his little scrunched up body and adorable little face. The most amazing part of the ultrasound was seeing his little spine! What an awesome miracle it is that babies grow like they do! As of the appointment, JJ is head down, with his back curved around to my left, feet sticking up into the top-middle of my belly, and arms/hands down near his face.

Our favorite picture from the ultrasound -- the face shot. I think he looks a bit like a sleeping-Chris here. I can't wait to kiss those sweet little cheeks!


The profile picture with his hand.

There's that foot that sticks up the top of my belly most days. He's either practicing a pedaling motion or knee-dropping for climbing!


JJ looked great and continues to be an active little guy! He still loves daddy's voice more than anything and gets the hiccups daily. We can't wait to meet him!
