Small Successes and Thankful Thursday - Baby Update Edition

About the only 3 successes I can share this week after a blogging hiatus (and one that may continue with more limited computer access while our PC gets an overall) are of our precious growing baby boy. He is 36 weeks, 3 days along, and at the ultrasound we had today to check out my fluids and placenta levels (all good!) estimates he is 6 lbs, 5oz so far. He's head down too (stay that way little boy!) It is getting us soooooo excited that we are "FULL TERM" next week and the countdown begins. Will we go before 40 weeks? After? Only God knows!!

So...here are my "three" successes:

1. Our precious son's face - well, what we could capture - his nose, cheeks, and chin....He's so gorgeous - I'm NOT biased though...haha!

2. This one is hard to see, but it is the up/down view (his profile - looking to the left) with his lips and chin profile, and his arm in front of his face and his hand on his forehead.



3. The traditional profile shot but blurry, he's on his back, looking up. Still cute :)



Every additional week is a gift. All his movements are a gift. I don't think I'll completely feel the rush of joy until he is here safe and we're all ok and bonding. But, I am getting SO EXCITED to countdown!! He is so wanted, such a blessing, and very anticipated. Thanks for the continued prayers!! Here comes May 11th - give or take!
