pregnancy update ~ 22 weeks

Baby Squirt continues to grow! We went back to the specialist for our follow-up ultrasound and got some wonderful news! The baby’s heart is perfectly healthy and normal as far as they could tell! The baby is also measuring exactly on schedule, weighing 15 ounces.

Baby is definitely making sure that we know that there is a Squirt in there! Kicks are becoming my constant companion both day and night. Russ even got to feel one a few days ago! Even the ultrasound tech commented to us on what an “active child” we have. Every time she went to take a measurement or freeze the picture, Squirt would move or flip over. Maybe we should have used the name SQUIRM instead of SQUIRT!!

If you don’t believe Squirt has daddy’s head…check out this photo:

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;

and in thy book all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
(Psalm 139:13-17)
