"Textbook Perfect"

So my prayer throughout our pregnancy so far has been for everything to be "textbook perfect." With so many things that could go wrong and could cause me to be anxious, all I can do is pray for everything to go well and realize it is out of my hands! So we had our 2nd ultrasound today. And guess what the doctor said? Everything is "textbook perfect." How kind of the Lord to use the exact phrase that I've been praying to reassure me that all is well!! The doctor could have said "everything is great" or "no worries," but instead she used the exact phrase I've been praying for!!

So here's our little "shrimp" as the ultrasound tech called it:
Top picture: Side profile to the left. Head at the top, then you can see the little left arm and leg buds. You can see the umbilical cord on the left next to the head. It doesn't look like a tadpole anymore!
Bottom picture: Head on the left, then the little arm buds, then the body on the right. Our little guy was dancing for us today! I watched Evan Almighty with my family this weekend. If you've ever seen it, he does a little dance throughout the movie to celebrate. That's what it reminded me of! :) Moving left, right, left, right, bouncing. I can't wait 'til I can feel the little guy/girl moving!!
