Baby Turner (in 4D)

We were given the opportunity to see baby Turner through 4D ultrasound this morning, and...
it. was. amazing.







We could see her features, not necessarily clearly, but see them nonetheless. She opened her eyes a handful of times, she furrowed her brows when the ultrasonographer shook my belly in attempt to get a better view of her face (can't you just hear her say, "leave me alone!"), she opened her mouth and swallowed, she hid her face behind her hands, rolled, kicked, punched... This little girl has a personality already, and an appearance... and a soul-- all that the Lord has knit together according to His design and purpose. His goodness and His grace. Upon comparison with Clayton's 4D, she looks very similar to him, although Clay and I think we can see some differences as well. I wonder about the color of her hair, her eyes, her skin tone... I can't wait to see what she really looks like when I can hold her in my arms!
"My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there were none of them."
Psalm 139:15, 16
