I had an ultrasound yesterday. You should have seen the lady's face when I said the kids are coming in. When I saw her look I said quickly that they will leave if they get loud. She responded that she doesn't like to get distracted. They were wonderfully behaved actually for that 45 minutes. At the end startings of getting tired but real fun conversation. Gideon wanted to know why his belly button doesn't look like mine! :) It was precious seeing the baby; the heart beating, hand opening and closing, the tiny feet!!!! I love that part.
So, the first picture is this perfect leg with the foot. The next is the normal picture where the baby's hand is up by his/her nose. You can see the heart and the stomach, too. I'm really glad all the kids got to see this. The baby moved some and the spine was very clear. We have 6 other pictures and I look at the face and try to guess boy or girl based on the features but I can't figure it out except to say I think girl. Someone else thinks he/she looks like Gideon though.
I wish my appointment went so well. I've gained a lot of weight!! Also, my thyroid isn't functioning correctly and I need to go on thyroid medication. I filled the prescription but haven't taken it yet. I need to do some research on this. I just do not take medication unless necessary. I can tell that something has been "wrong" but just thought it was being pregnant. The medication may give me more energy which I could surely use anyday! The doctor thinks the baby is a little big possibly due to thyroid problems and my weight gain would be due to it too. Pray for me to figure this out.

Ahhh nice pictures-I love that part too...it makes it seem more real when you can actually see them!
I will pray for you that you can figure this out and that God would heal your body. I suggest seeing if you can find a natural alternative from a Naturapathic doctor or a homeopath-sometimes they have great suggestions that doctors don't bother with! Blessings!

I just found your blog from another blog I read. I've had thyroid probs. for almost 10 years. One of the problems with starting on the synthetic meds is that then your body starts depending on them rather than healing itself. There is an alternative med called Armour Thyroid which is a "natural" thyroid replacement instead of Synthroid or Levothroid - however, in The How To Herb Book (sold by thebulkherbstore.com), they suggest that if you begin by treating this with herbs, your thyroid will actually heal itself and then you won't be dependant on any meds. I can email you the specifics if you want, but I highly recommend owning the book!
