Haylie Mackenna (The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face)

Haylie yawned for us, she tried to 'eat', or suck on her knee, her cord... she opened her eyes for us. She practiced breathing, she really entertained us, like she knew we wanted to see her.. She had her FEET above her HEAD at points! lol She seems to have fun entertaining herself in her own little world!

The 'tech' remembered Kev and Katie, also, and was very glad that she had much longer in their app't than normal d/t a cancellation... She took TONS of pictures for us. We heard (and Kev taped it on his cell phone) her heart beat as we watched it beating, and watched the heart monitor at the same time. I love that sound... like sheet metal being shaken rhythmically... She even checked Katie's kidneys because Katie ended up in the ER and up on OB the other night with severe back pain. Her R kidney is swollen, with excess fluid in it, but this happens d/t positioning of the baby, etc. They watch it, they don't do anything about it unless it becomes severe. It is NOT super abnormal.

Katie's Mom used her digital camera to make a video of the ultrasound... LOL... I deliberately left my camera at home, as I didn't want to appear 'too' intrusive... she proudly said... I BROUGHT MINE... love it! She will share the video if they can get a way to make a disc or something.....

It was really really neat! There are 3D pictures also, but this one was made specially for the two Grandmas in the room... smile! There was a LOT of discussion about whose nose she has, whose toes she has, etc... cannot wait to hold the little tyke!

She is due around Christmas Day.

God bless!

Proud Grandma....
