the charm

As in, third time's the charm.

We saw chambers, people. 4 of 'em. In her little bitty heart. And we even saw her little heart valves clicking away, just as they should. She is still growing, and measuring right on track. She looked bigger to me today, more like a baby every time.

And if you heard sounds of liquid hitting the floor this morning, it was just my heart melting completely when the critter YAWNED. OMG, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life, she yawned and stretched her arm over her head. Sigh, I think I'm in love.

She is charming her way right into my heart, and she is not even here yet. Boy, am I in trouble. Good trouble. :)

    I love reading your updates... I'm 9.5 weeks along and your updates give me all kinds of things to look forward to (rather than stress that i'm not out of my 1st trimester yet!). I can't believe you saw a yawn... how cute!

    Oh wow. I would have totally loved to see that. That is so wonderful and exciting and it makes so much sense to me that you have fallen head over heels over her!

    Good thing she kept hiding from the doctors so you could keep getting US! Do you guys have a name picked out yet or are you going to call her critter until she arrives?

    That is so cool - both the yawn and the heart. I'm so glad you got to experience that, and that you got all those extra ultrasounds trying to get a peek at the heart.

    Such wonderful news! Your post gave me chills. I am so happy that you have the little critter to love and fawn over. I know you can't wait to hold her and see her yawn and stretch in real life. Sigh...I can't wait for that post.

    Yay, she sounds adorable. And it sounds like you are now believing that this is going to have a happy ending.
