So, somehow we are now in the third trimester. 28 weeks! And I haven't updated since 23 weeks, so an update is in order. At 24 weeks, we got an extra anatomy ultrasound. Our baby girl would not show us her profile and a particular view of her heart at 20 weeks, so this earned us another scan. The great thing was that my parents were in town for the weekend, and they were able to come with us! (It was a big deal for me to feel confident enough inviting them to this. I tried to suppress the fears that something would be horribly wrong and how tragic it would be to have them there when we discovered it. Thankfully, our girl was kind to me and kicked me a good bit the morning of the ultrasound, assuring me that she was quite happily alive in there.) This was the first ultrasound that felt real. We saw her face at the last ultrasound, but babies aren't so pretty face on at this point. Much more alien-like than baby-like. It didn't evoke much emotion in me. [caption id="atta...
