Sneak Peak

Introducing Noah! Yesterday Jonathan and I got to spend 50 minutes watching Noah via 3D ultrasound. It was a non medical ultrasound courtesy of a bunch of friends and family who wanted to give us this beautiful memory of our son in utero. Thank you so much to those who have contributed to this special time. We have a DVD of the session as well as pictures and video clips. And we were so happy to see Noah's beautiful face. His nose is completely formed as you can well see and there was no sign of a cleft pallet. We also got a peak at some of his male parts which have descended (not always the case with Trisomy 13).

Side profile, you can see Noah's ear and maybe even some hair on his head?
Here he is flexing his big muscles for the world to see.

And here we can see his left arm and right hand. Needless to say we are a very proud mama and papa and we look forward to meeting our little guy when the time comes.

Today is the beginning of my 3rd trimester. We are 27 weeks pregnant so that leaves 13 more weeks to go. I am definitely feeling the discomforts of pregnancy though my hip/back are almost healed. So far Noah is continuing to grow at a normal pace which means he weighs a little over 2lbs and measures approximately 15 inches from head to toe.
