Third Trimester!

Today is officially the beginning of our third trimester! I really can't believe how fast the time has gone, and how much I've grown in the last few weeks! I'm feeling very large! I'm not really sure when I saw my feet for the last time, but I'm pretty sure they're still there. Here's a picture in my cute, black preggy dress! =)

It took us a while to get the ultrasound pics from December 15th scanned, but here they are!
He's giving us a peace sign!

Last week, Baby Timberlake gave us a bit of a scare. We had our regular check-up on Wednesday, Jan. 14th, and they gave us some news we weren't expecting! The December ultrasound came back with some abnormalities that they were concerned about. They decided to send us to see a specialist in Austin for another ultrasound and a genetic consult on Monday. That was the longest and most difficult weekend of my life! We had lots of friends and family praying for us and the baby, but we were so scared that something was wrong!

Monday finally came, even though we thought it would never get here. We went in for our ultrasound and saw a sweet lady first, who I believe was a regular ultrasound tech, not a doctor. She told us that as far as she could tell, everything looked great, but she wanted the doctor to come in and take a look, just to be safe. The doctor came in, continued the ultrasound, and agreed that everything looked great! He said that my amniotic fluid levels are slightly elevated, and my doctor should keep an eye on it, but it's nothing to be too worried about. We are SO thankful that our little one looks so healthy!! Living through those 4 days of not knowing reminded me that we don't have to wait and worry on our own - God is with us to guide us through our fears and keep us from completely losing our minds! Coming to the realization that he was completely in control of our situation, no matter how it turned out, was a comfort to us. Thank you again to all of our friends and family who got us through this time with lots of love and prayer.

Here are two pictures from this last ultrasound. I may be biased, but I think that is the most beautiful face I've ever seen!!!
