100th Post!

That's right! This post is the 100th peek into the daily life of the McKinstrys. Thankfully, I have something wonderful to post this time - new pictures of our daughter!

At my twenty week sonogram, the baby's placenta was too low which caused some mild concern. Usually, this problem fixes itself but the doctor wanted me to come back at thirty weeks to make sure everything was normal. While it wasn't the most comforting news at the time, I really haven't been too worried about it. Instead I felt excited because this glitch meant we'd get to see our daughter in another sonogram before she was born (which we wouldn't have otherwise). Several friends joined with us in praying that everything would be fine this past Thursday when we went for our visit, and sure enough our prayers were answered the way we'd hoped - everything is where it needs to be!

The sonographer said Baby Girl is measuring about six days bigger than expected, which strengthens my prediction that she'll be here sooner than her due date just like Caleb was. Only time will tell!

It looked like she was putting her hand or arm in her mouth.

We also got to see her stick her tongue in and out
but I don't think any of the pictures captured it.

Closer view

Here is a shot of her facing us.

This is another view of her facing us but this time her
eye is open. The little arrow in the picture points out the open eye.

These pictures weren't 3-D images like Caleb's were which is a bit disappointing, but we did get some decent views of her face. Something about her facial features in the images reminded me a bit of Grandma McKinstry. I guess we'll have to wait and see who this little one favors in a month or two!

Caleb was a quiet when we first entered the ultrasound room but he was pretty interested when they made the table raise up electronically and then squirted a bunch of goop on my belly. When his sister came up on the screen he kept saying "baby more more." I think he likes her. :)
