Yesterday I had my 21 week ultrasound scan. It was amazing to see this little one bouncing about and doing very funny things while in utero. This little one had one of its legs in full extension above its body and then would not turn over for the tech to get a good picture of the 4 chambers of its heart. It is already misbehaving-haha You can also see a profile shot with the umbilical cord floating above its face. The technician was so sweet and clicked the machine over to 3D and you can see that the face came out very clearly. I started to cry. There is also a picture of the baby in 3D with the leg extended and you can make out clearly the knee cap, back, ribs, spine, and then the arms are crossed over the body. Very sweet. The technican and Dr. Jones said the baby looks great and every little bone and organ seem to be developing just perfectly. What a miracle this is. Praise be to God for his great goodness and blessing.
Oh, I do not know how to scan that well yet, but if you double click on the image it zooms in and you can see the images better. Love, Meg

Finally settled...

Since flying back from England on July 15th, Jared and I have honestly been going non-stop in search of job, home, cars, etc. We feel blessed to finally be settled in Birmingham, Alabama. Jared has accepted a job here with a foundation and we have bought a sweet little house in a great area of Birmingham. We closed on the house August 23rd and moved in the next day. Three days later we took off to the beach for some r and r. We feel incredibly blessed to have been able to go and have such generous friends to allow us to stay in their condo. We both felt like it was a second honeymoon and are both refreshed and rested for the new life here in Birmingham. Jared starts work tomorrow and I will continue to get the home ready for baby's arrival in January. We thought we would post the lastest pictures from the beach. Nothing too exciting except for the growing belly bump. Lots of love to you all.
