Doing an Irish jig

So we went to another doctors visit this week and we have really no new developments other than everything seems to be fine as far as the baby's development. Danielle's sugars still seem to be a bit high so they upped her dose of medicine a little and told her to watch her diet. Most days her blood checks seem to be fine but there are still some spikes. Please pray that everything continues to be fine and her diabetes stays in check.

It seems our little bundle of joy is already practicing on being a pain in the "womb". Seems there is this little microphone that uses doppler radar to hear the baby's heartbeat and DLB doesn't show up on it. Meteorologists use doppler radar to track huge thunderstorms over hundreds of miles yet this little baby that is just inches inside Danielle has developed some sort of stealth technology to hide from it. We can either look at it as practice for hide and go seek with mommy and daddy when DLB is a toddler or be hopeful that the scientific part of the brain development is hyperactive and will later prove to save the world from cancer. Or at least intrusive doppler radar.

So anyway, the happy side effect is we get to get the ultrasound out and see our baby. Not being able to hear the heartbeat always gives us a scare since Danielle can't quite feel the baby we obviously assume everything is groovy but you never know. Actually Danielle has been feeling the little flutter that she is sure is not a gas bubble, but seems to be the baby moving around but we really can't be sure yet. So the nurse gets the wand out, squeezes the super special goo on her belly and, lo and behold, DLB is doing a full on Irish jig for us. Arms and legs flailing, fingers moving, full on dancing away. Looked alot like Michael dancing backin the 80's but with more style.

I have to say I understand love at first sight and ever since we saw our little egg sack in those first pictures I can't explain how much my heart grows and my life expands every time I see those tiny little movements, the heart beating, the little body growing inside. March 24th is so long away, yet I know that time flies by so quick that it will seem like no time at all.
