Pixs of Baby Fortney - 32 weeks, 4 days

profile shot...not the best

look at that foot! how can that be comfortable?

that's the left arm coming across the body right below the foot

got an itch on your nose? scratch it with your big toe :)

how sweet is my baby??!!!

here are lots of shots of baby fortney from about a week ago at exactly 32 weeks, 4 days. look at those lips and that nose :) also, this little one is flexible. he/she had their right foot straight up over the right side of its face and would not move it no matter what we did. it is amazing to see these shots. i'm in love already!! he/she is head down, which i already knew based on where i was feeling kicks and movement. caroline was head down and very low forever so i thought this one might do the same thing. they estimate the weight right now at 3lbs 9 0z, which is right around the 20% percentile at this gestational age. i somehow lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks and now i'm going in every week for a weight check and a non stress test on the baby to make sure the heart rate and movements are good. the dr was not happy with how skinny the baby's abdomen is so i'm trying my best to fatten he/she up and myself. praise the Lord, i managed to gain 2 lbs this past week and the non stress test today looked wonderful! we'll have another ultrasound next week to check the baby's growth again. continue to keep us in your prayers :)

caroline had another b'day party in charleston when we got back from our trip in marietta. most of her little buddies were able to make it and she loved it! we had it at a local park near our house and all of the kids played, ate and had a great time. we've said it many times, but we are so incredibly blessed by the friendships God has given us here..not only me and john, but most definitely caroline :)

here are pixs from caroline's 3rd b'day family celebration in marietta. we had it at grammie and papa's house (we alternate every year between the grandparents) and this year was all about ladybugs in case you can't tell! all our immediate family was there, which ends up being a very full house. all of the kids had a blast eating, playing and helping caroline open presents. she enjoyed it so much and i have to say, i had the most fun watching her excitement. she loved everything. we had such an awesome time celebrating!
