"Charli"

My granddaughter is growing and I still am in such awe when I watch her on a sonogram. Last week I watched her wiggle and move all over the place!

There was an "aaaaawwwww" moment as we watched her yawn and stick her tongue out.

 She appears so much chubbier than her previous sonogram so we know she's growing. The technician estimates she weighs almost 3 pounds.

She is so precious, right down to her tiny feet!

We are praying for this tiny baby. Her ultrasound revealed a "double bubble" on her stomach. We still aren't sure what all that means and won't know much more until a more intense sonogram next week. We know this means little Charli may have surgery as soon as she's born. She's being prayed for by friends and family and churches across the US and we are so thankful to have no doubt she is in God's hands.

Kayleigh Charles

It's a Girl! My daughter Heather had another ultrasound yesterday and it appears that my first grandbaby is a girl! My husband will continue to be outnumbered by girls and all things PINK! :)

Kayleigh, or "Charli" as Heather plans to call her, weighs about 8 ounces and appears to be growing just fine and healthy. Heather is just over 18 weeks along in her pregnancy.

I am completely smitten with this tiny wonder and am in awe of the technology that allows us to see in such detail what she already looks like:

Heather chose the name Kayleigh Charles to use my mother's middle name Kay, Heather's middle name Leigh, and Heather's dad's middle name Charles. She has always loved nicknames and plans to call the baby "Charli." I can't wait to meet you this spring Charli!
