One of the very exciting parts about receiving ultrasounds later in pregnancy is that you get to see a much more developed version of the little alien you saw at 20 weeks, I am left in disbelief at how much our tiny little thing grew!
Measuring in just one day behind his or her due date and at 2 pounds 1 ounce we were able to swoon over some sweet 3D images.
I have tried SO hard to imagine this baby's sweet little face and as hard as I try not to, all I have been able to envision is another little Carter.. well turns out I am not far off. The moment they put the image up on the screen both AJ and I started laughing (in the best of ways!). It was in fact the tinier version of our son! How two children can look SO much alike is beyond me, while I am sure they will have their little differences they will without a doubt look like siblings for as long as they live. All the way down to the toes.. our second blessing shares the same large chubby thick feet and toes as his or her older brother does. It absolutely melts my heart!
We were able to keep the gender a surprise and plan on doing so until this little one meets us earth side, being one of the few surprises that we have left in this life I cannot wait to relive that precious moment yet again.
All is good, everyone is healthy and we are blessed.
Those cheeks!!
Same nose as Carter and their Daddy
Ten beautiful toes, measuring 2 inches long!
These were the majority of the shots, hands hiding all the goods!
A little cord action in front of little one, and what a BEAUTIFUL cord he/she has
This is the image that sticks in my head, this tiny sleeping little of mine so peaceful right where he/she belongs. These last few weeks I will hold close to this image knowing that someday I'll kiss those precious lips and stare at this exact image for hours when I know I should be sleeping myself.
Four more weeks and we will see you yet again.
