meet abby grace!

my mom came all the way from texas last week for a visit!! it was such a joy having her here at the house. bc she lives in tx, i've been trying to think of ways to include her more in on the pregnancy. when we found out we were having a girl, we called a local shop in dallas to prepare a 'girl surprise' for my mom to go pick up & open - just something fun for her to be in on the surprise. since she has been unable to attend any of the dr visits, i decided a 3D/4D ultrasound would be an extra special treat for us to experience together. & it was such a blessing to watch abby grace move around and have fun!! she stuck out her tongue quite often, wiggled frequently, yawned (so cute!!)... i am so glad my mom was able to experience that with me!!

we did find out that abby grace is breech :( so please be praying that she will flip around! if she stays breech, i will have to have a c-section... nothing against c-sections but my preference is for a natural birth! we know the Lord is sovereign even over her position so we trust that He knows best.

so... here are pics from abby grace's 1st fun photo shoot:

the umbilical cord is around her arm -

not a big deal but a good pic of her arm and cute face

she's sticking her tongue out a little here

the ultrasound tech was surprised by her head full of hair!

cute little foot!

awww my fav :) most adorable yawn ever

yay squishy face

yeah so i warned you that she likes to stick out her tongue, right?

i dunno where she gets all that sass from :)

this is the side of her face - you can see her hand over her face,

her ear, and her chin is resting on her foot. she's flexible.

side pic of her feet - you can really see her ankle bone.

there's her sweet face!

look at that precious sleepy expression :)

do you see any resemblance with this baby pic of me....?

i will be updating again soon with more nursery pics & pics from my parent's visit last week!
