Another glimpse at Baby Casebolt!!

On Monday Brian and I went back to the Dr. and we got another glimpse of our little one! Though it's only been two weeks, we saw amazing change in the development of this tiny blessing. As soon as Dr. Frields got the camera aimed on him* we saw fast kicking legs and little waving hands. Brian and I had the same reaction "oh wow!" Neither one of us expected to see that much movement from one so small. The other amazing thing is that we both could instantly tell that this wasn't just a wiggling blob (as some try to teach), we were looking at a tiny little person, complete with arms, legs, a head, a tummy and ears!! (the outer ear has developed at this point, I'm not completely sure it's visible in this picture but it's fun to know it's there.)

HERE'S THE PICTURE!!!

Due to the movment some of the limbs are a bit blurred in the picture, but the Dr. did explain to us that the lower thing sticking out that looks like a leg/foot (on the left) is actutally the umbillical cord, the other foot probably blurred when he snapped the picture cause it was moving pretty fast! The same is true of the arms, we saw two little waving ones in the camera but they're a bit blurred also. One little thing I noticed is that if you look at the first ultrasound, the baby's head is facing the opposite direction. It's just weird to me to think that a little tiny person is moving around inside of me and I can't feel it!
*editorial he, better than saying "it"

Psalm 139: 13-16 “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, {And} skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written the days that were ordained {for me,} When as yet there was not one of them.”
