Cuteness

To Cookie,

You're so cute! I mean, of course we knew you would be, but your ultrasound on Monday (23w) gave us the most gorgeous in-utero picture I've ever seen:

My friend Lily, who will be helping you into the world, said that this is a definite "girl smile."

You seemed quite intent on playing with your umbilical cord as well, which was fun to watch. But not so much when the ultrasound lady needed you to stay still a moment while she checked the blood flow in and out of it. She had to get someone else to come and check it as well, because every now and then there was an extra thud, or it would skip one. Nothing to worry about though, thankfully.

The cyst in your brain has disappeared though! It's completely gone. I wasn't worried too much about it, but I'mstill very glad to be rid of it. The doctor said it could have just been that one of the veins in your brain grew a little faster than the ones around it, so now it's slowed down to catch up. All good.
