My precious baby girl...

My cheeks are sore from smiling. :) We had our ultrasound this morning and it could not have gone better. Three-vessel cord. Four-chamber heart. Zipper-like spine. Two functioning kidneys. Perfectly-divided cerebrum. No cord around the neck. I heard all of the phrases that any pregnant, labor and delivery nurse would want to hear!
This is my favorite 3-D picture of her beautiful profile. My manager (Gail) at work said, "You bring that picture to your delivery and you will be amazed at the likeness you will see." It's hard to really imagine from this what she'll look like, but I'm sure Gail is right.
We laughed about this one with the ultrasound technician because a lot of people request to not have prints of the pictures directly of the face. They tend to look a little skeletal because of the technology and any space that is filled with fluid comes up as black on an ultrasound scan. But I think this picture is amazing. If you look really close, it can almost look like she's smiling at us!
The tech didn't say a thing. She just froze the screen and typed out what it says at the bottom. Although we had the gender test done in December, we were really waiting for this confirmation! We couldn't be more happy of the Lord's choice to start our family with a wonderful little girl.
And according to this picture, she might just be signing up for sports early! The tech kept saying, "She is busy!" It's a little hard to tell, as it was difficult to capture her being still, but the two arrows on the right are pointing to her fists up by her face. Looks like she's getting ready to do her daily Tae-Bo. You go, girl!
For the name announcement, we will share what we're thinking, but keep in mind we still have 20 weeks to go! Anything can happen and we are still leaving room for possible change. But we're 98% sure, so whether you like it or not, tell us you like it. The season to gather opinions is over. :) We really love Naomi Suzanne Yeamans. Naomi means "beautiful and pleasant," while Suzanne means "lily." My middle name is Suzanne, along with it being the first name of my mother. So unless something else comes along out of the blue, Naomi it will be.
We give all glory to the Creator for her perfect little body and thank Him for His goodness to us and her every day!
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights..."
