Sucking its little thumb.... Josh laughed because it sticks out its pinky like he does

Good news today!!! Another Roberson who seems to be stubborn and set in their ways!!
Today is begins week 15 of our pregnancy and another peek into the unknown world of baby. After waking up early to make our 8:30am appointment at the doctor's office, Josh and I were excited and full of anticipation of what might be to come.
The first thing I noticed is that the baby's heart rate has slowed down slightly from 163 to a still very healthy 150. It is crazy how the sound of the little "whoosh whoosh whoosh" still brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart jump with excitement. Seeing the look on my husband's face is still just as sweet to me as it was on the very first day I told him of the little arrival to come.
Our doctor decided that he would like to do an ultrasound today and just give us a quick check-up of our little one and how it was progressing. I had told Josh before that during the 11 week ultrasound our baby had grown irritated with the pushing and prodding of the ultrasound probe and had quickly flipped over on its stomach to hide and show it's frustration with the whole situation! However, I was sure that this time would be different and the little one would cooperate with everyone and show the world what it had to offer.....
It wasn't very long after Sarah (our ultrasound tech) had placed the probe on my tummy that the sight of baby roberson quickly appeared on the tv screen mounted on the wall... There it was... laying on its back, sprawled out..... kicking and stretching and practicing all of its little motions.... Until it became tired of being pushed around... and it happened!!! The baby decided to flip over on its little fat belly... yet this time..... it decided to cross its ankles and close its legs too....
So much for finding out today if I would be buying pink or blue.... All I could do was laugh.... Here we go again.... God has a good sense of humor... and this definitely proved that once again... Almost as if to say... "not on your time... but on mine"
I was glowing... but more so... Josh was the proudest father I could even imagaine.... The look on his face was worth more than I could ever explain.... and as crazy as it sounds... it was at this moment.. I realized...there IS A WAY to possibly love him even more... There I was, with the love of my life... and the life we had created... all together... in a special moment that can never be replaced....
And as for my love for my child...How can you love someone so much that you havent even met yet? I have yet to figure that out... but already, I would give my life for the safety of this blessing...
What a good way to put a smile on your face.
