Today was pretty spectacular! We had our (possibly) last ultrasound before baby Elsie’s arrival. I barely slept the night before because I was just SO excited to see her again! Is it possible to miss someone you’ve yet to meet? Well, I do!

We waited 45 minutes in the waiting room this morning. I was so fidgety. What were they doing back there?!  Then finally they called us back. A mom of 5 with Doc Marten boots on was our gal. She was so fun and sweet and answered all my nitpicky questions. Having a great ultrasound tech is key. She was super nice and patient with Elsie.

Onto….our girl. She was a little fetus tornado today! She was whippin’ around left to right…up then down! I couldn’t believe it, and neither could our tech! She said under her breath “she is craaaazy”. We all laughed. She then said “wow, I really don’t know if I’ll ever get the shots I need”. Well, she did get those shots…30 minutes later!  Apparently Elsie was excited about the weather, or could easily sense my energy from the sunshine today. Whatever the reason, we loved seeing her bounce about and punch with her arms and legs. I couldn’t feel when she was doing it, but I will soon. At one point she kept crossing her legs like a lady. It was out of control cute. Because of the sonic the hedgehog moves going on it was hard for the tech to get the “glamour shot” of the womb. The profile picture every mom wants…welllll mine is a bit blurry and not defined. She did at one point turn her big face straight at us and wave. It was perfect. Elsie still looks a bit like an alien, but apparently if we did the 4d ultrasound she would have looked much more like a human baby. Ehhhh…no big deal.

Her heart and brain and everything else about her seems to be perrrrfect! Darren and I couldn’t be happier!

Here are Elsie’s baby feet. How proper do they look?!

This is the not so defined profile shot of her 🙂 🙂

“Hey Guys!” Elsie is waving at the camera!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
