catherine-



you are a funny little girl, aren't you? you proved me very wrong today, and it makes me smile and laugh thinking about what if you were showing off just for me and to ease my anxiety a little. thank you=) the ultrasound and all your testing went so well! i say "so well", but i guess i should add "considering the circumstances." all the stuff that has been in the wrong place and in the way of the lungs is still where it shouldn't be, but everything else was fine. you were a wild woman in there! we kept laughing (and me laughing didn't help matters either) because you were zipping this way and that whenever we would try to look at you or monitor your heart rate. that made it very difficult my sweet girl-you are a rascal and i love it=) you passed your tests with flying colors though. mommy and daddy did end up having to go to the hospital though for further monitoring of my belly, because i was having really mild contractions and the perinatologist was afraid i was going into preterm labor...not today though-just practice contractions. we got some great pictures of you-it's been lots of fun watching you change and grow every time we see you. here is a picture from today...

can you tell what you're doing there? this is a picture of your head, and you're looking down and to my left, and your hand is up in front of your forehead. it's funny watching the way the 3-D ultrasound pictures change as you get bigger-you were very scrawny in the earlier ones, and now look how great and squishy your cheeks look! i love them. i can't wait to feel them in person=)

i love you beautiful girl-

mommy
