24 weeks...

I was taking pictures of Sara in our garden and I came away with this beauty...nice huh? Or I could've snapped one while she rested during a recent trip to the Biltmore Estate.

So we have reached our mark of 24 weeks and according to Sara, this is a big milestone for both her and the baby. Gabriella is weighing in at roughly two pounds! She's growing like a weed and kicking the whiz out of her mommy. We've actually enjoyed being able to sit and watch Sara's belly dance as Gabi gives her a sharp jab with a knee, elbow, heel or even the occasional head butt.

At our last ultrasound, a couple of weeks ago, we learned that she is looking to be a week ahead of schedule. So instead of sitting on pins and needles around New Year's, Sara might be sending me out on Christmas Eve to pick up "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornaments and stocking. We'll just have to wait and see! She's gonna be a sweet baby, but you don't have to take our word for it...

Here is a profile shot of Gabriella. Her face on the right is looking up so it gives you an idea

I know this is a hard one to tell, but if you look real close and hard you can see her foot. By my count, she has 5 perfect little toes...I can't wait to gobble 'em up.

I don't if you can see it, but she's waving at us in this one. And I think she was telling us it's only 5 more months until she gets to see us (this was an ultrasound from July). The biggest part is her belly, face is looking up on the right with her hand directly above it.

Stay tuned...we are going for a 3D/4D ultrasound on September 24th and are sure to get some great detailed shots.
