Here are our latest pictures of Sophia. During this visit, she wasn’t much in the mood for the camera and didn’t pose for a cute profile shot. But we did get the one on the left, in which she appears to be stripped. We asked the nurse and she said no, we don’t have a stripped baby. The line across the top is Sophia’s ribs. About this time, the bones start to harden and the sound waves are blocked, creating shadows in the picture. Sophia is still healthy, developing all the right ways at the right times. If my body can do its part and hang in there for a while longer, we will do pretty well.
The photo on the right is pretty mysterious to me. I think it looks like a dolphin and Jessica says Pac-man. Sean says he remembers the nurse saying it was a foot. If the sonogram specialist was taking a look, she could point out where each of the bones of the foot were located and if they were the right size and shape for the gestational age. The whole sonogram business is pretty strange and amazing.
OK, one more photo. We took one of my out-of-the-house-trips-for-the-week to Barton Springs for Mother’s Day. We had some lunch, dipped our feet into the cold springs and rested on the blanket, soaking in the beautiful day and the love of family. It doesn’t get any better than that.
That’s a pretty baby you got there.
