Something to be thankful for!

~Profile picture of little Grasshopper~ 
I have seen hundreds of these pictures, many lately on *F*ace*book...it seems that every time I turn around I hear of someone else that either just had a baby or are expecting...but there is something VERY special about this particular ultrasound picture:
IT IS OUR BABY ON THERE!
 ~This one makes me laugh, if you look at his/her hand, you will see that Grasshopper is giving a thumbs up!~
It was so precious!  In the past I have volunteered at the local pregnancy care center and we still receive their newsletter.  I saw they were training a new ultrasound tech. so they needed 'models' she could use to learn and get hours on.  I volunteered, who doesn't want to see their baby?  The ultrasound lasted about an hour and I learned alot because there was a 'teacher' in there with her going through step by step what they were looking at and measuring and why they were doing these things. 

Anyway, in the middle of trying to get a crown to rump measurement (which isn't accurate after 15 weeks btw) all of a sudden little Grasshopper put his/her hand front and center and throws up the thumb for a great thumbs up!  It just made us all giggle!  So precious to see your baby jumping and wiggling inside of you while you have no idea that is going on!
~This one was at the very end, Grasshopper crossed his/her hands over his/her belly, too cute!~

It was such a fun way to spend an hour of my time.  I get to go back in my third trimester and have another 'learning' ultrasound!  How much fun?!?!  We have now seen Grasshopper at 6 weeks 2 days, 8 weeks 5 days, 10 weeks 5 days, and 15 weeks 5 days!  Four precious times of getting a sneek peak into how he/she is growing and changing so quickly!  It is hard to believe that we are already only 4 weeks from half way through this pregnancy!  That means we are 4 1/2 weeks from {hopefully} finding out if we are going to be shopping for pink or blue!  November 17th is the big day, a day that cannot come soon enough in my opinion!  But hey, it is still before the big shopping on Black Friday!

So when I look at these pictures, I just realize we have so much to be thankful for!  We have two beautiful children (Princess 4 & Boo 3...almost 4) and this beautiful little one and then we are also working on finishing our paperwork to contract with our adoption agency as well!  What a blessing and I am SOOOO excited!
