baby murph

Well, we saw the little one again yesterday.  Still pretty crazy to think about, a little person that's about as long as a finger, actually living and moving and growing inside Jen's body.  And people say there's no such thing as miracles... I can't see how, and it's still just the beginning.

I was able to hold it together a little bit better this time than the first time, probably because I was so focused on the technical aspects, how it grows, what parts are functioning, how the ultrasound works, how much it can move.  We got lucky, cause the stubborn little murph wasn't in the right position for the measurements, so we were able to watch it a lot longer than most new parents get to watch.  Goes to show that it's at least somewhat like it's mother, cute and stubborn.  And, it apparently (not sure how the tech could tell, but it's what she said) was sleeping, so it's somewhat like me, able to sleep through anything, even being poked by a mysterious object, or being jostled around to change position.  No doubt it's our kid!  So exciting though, it's really hard to describe the feeling, I can't even begin to imagine once it's actually out and breathing, eating, sleeping through the night, never fussing........ we can dream, right?
