This is our 25th week, so as you see on the countdown, we have just over 100 days before the delivery of our "new baby"!! We had another ultrasound this morning to look at her sweet little face and reassure ourselves that she is indeed a girl (technically it was done to rule out any abnormalities in the facial features such as a cleft palate since we couldn’t get a good view of her face last time). She didn’t disappoint! She showed us her beautiful, healthy profile straight away and then we watched as she rubbed her eyes, yawned and then stuck her tongue out at her big sister! It was very exciting to see her so active. We forget that she is doing all the things now that we will get to watch full-time when she is born. What a miracle life is – what a beautiful thing to watch - what a gift. Some families like to wait until their baby is born to learn whether they are adding a little girl or boy to the mix, and we see the excitement in doing so. But for us, we want to know as much as possible about our little ones. We have learned the hard way that time is not always in our favor and what better way to bond with the baby and enjoy each day of pregnancy than to know her identity and ponder her name and dream about her future. Sisters!! We are thrilled with the news – for us and for them. JR thought it would be fun to see how similar the girls’ profiles are – what do you think – two peas in a pod?
Upon first reading your heading, I thought perhaps the doctor discovered another baby in the ultrasound and perhaps you were having twins! Then I read on.
It is so fun to have children who look like siblings. None of my sisters resemble one another, so I enjoy that Will is the picture of John at this age. (We also noticed that in utero, too.) I think it is wonderful that you will have two little girls so close in age. And I think it is also neat that on the Kane side, there are all girls!
I’m definitely going shopping for MORE PINK!!!!!
