Well we went to UNC again yesterday (Tuesday). We allowed an hour for our commute, as usual, but traffic was worse than normal and it took us an hour and a half to get there. As a result, we missed our 8:00am ultrasound appointment because we arrived at 8:30am. Therefore, we had to wait around for over an hour to get squeezed in to the next available time slot. This also caused us to miss our 8:45am check up, which we didn't get to until close to 10am.
The ultrasound went well! The reason for this ultrasound was to measure the amount of amniotic fluid because it was on the low side of the normal range last week. Fortunately, things looked good, we're back to the mid-level of the normal range (normal runs between 6-20 and we were a 12). Because the results looked normal, they decided we don't need to have any more ultrasounds. We did get some great 4D pictures of Ethan yesterday during the ultrasound. We were surprised to get any at all because last week they told us that it was too late in the pregnancy to see anything because it's getting so crowded in there! But the ultrasound technician said it certainly wasn't too late to get pictures, it all depends on which way the baby's positioned. Below are some of the pictures from Ethan's most current "photo shoot"! It's amazing how much detail a 4D picture shows. We can really start to see what he's going to look like!

Is that a precious face or what! Such a miracle! I imagine you can hardly wait to hold Ethan in your arms. Speaking from a grandmotherly-aged point of view I'm sure your parents are just itching to get him in their arms, too. We're praying BIG, and I sent out a prayer e-mail to several friend and have heard back from people all over the place who are praying and having their churches pray--Florida, Colorado, Indiana, and even a nun in Ann Arbor, who grew up with Rich, who has her convent and church praying for Ethan.
We're awaiting the big day and are glad to hear that you are doing so well in your pregnancy and that Ethan is thriving in your tummy.
I've tried writing this several times and have lost it each time. Hopefully this time it will go through!
God bless you all!
Love,
Rich and Jody
I think he is going to look like Dan, but you never know! We can't wait to meet you Ethan. We love you so much. and I know you will know my voice little buddy.
