It's a racoon!

Here's the latest baby pictures I have... these were taken on May 7th. Doesn't that hand look kind of like a little paw? I laughed when I saw it and said, "Oh! It's a little racoon!"


Each time we get to see him, his bones show up a brighter white as they continue to develop and calcify. And he's definitely getting a little more crowded in there... It's such a miracle! And check out his close-up! What a handsome little baby.


But I saved the best for last... in this shot, if you look closely - you can see him grabbing his feet! Isn't that adorable? I don't know why it surprised and delighted me so much. I thought, "Oh, he likes to play and grab his toes and do all the things that a real baby does!" But of course he does! He is a real baby! He just hasn't officially made his grand entrance!


Especially since this last ultrasound, I just love to think about him and wonder what he's doing in there! The other day in church, he was playing with Jordan, I swear... Jordan would kind of shake my belly and then the baby would answer back by kicking twice. Then Jordan would do it again, and the baby would kick back again! I suppose in reality, maybe the baby was just trying to tell Jordan, "Hey! Knock it off!" but I prefer to think of it as playing with Daddy. ( : But even if he was just being cranky, it's still cool to be able to interact with him. We love our little racoon baby!
