The Best 5 Minutes

Here are photos of the best 5 minutes of my life in 2010 so far...

Here's a profile shot of baby #2.

Here's a closeup. What's really cool is that you can clearly see the umbilical cord and how it goes to the belly button.

Picture 3 is from when they took the baby's heartbeat. You can see at the bottom that it registered 146 bpm. Last week, it was 157 bpm.

This photo is the whole enchilada. The ultrasound tech thought that this picture upside-down was perfect.

Last photo shows an arm. She said that Baby #2 has five fingers. I had to smile at that because it echoed my prayers: five fingers, five toes (on each) and a whole heart with perfect little organs.

We must have had this ultrasound late. I was expecting a peanut (like with Ace) but this little one is much more developed.

I can't believe it only took 5 minutes. I could have stayed there watching this baby for hours. It was dancing, kicking, hiccupping, squirming, waving and all the rest. Lord help me when I start feeling this movement!
