Thoughtful Friend

I am so grateful to have such thoughtful friends. It almost makes me feel guilty because I'm not sure I would even think to do some of the thoughtful things some of them have. Jess called me the other day and invited me to go along with her to her sonogram appointment. She is almost 31 weeks pregnant now and she thought I might want to see what it was like since it is an experience I won't have with adoption. She's been here with me through all the up and down emotions I've had during my fertility treatments so she knew the things I mourned. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first. I warned her that I wasn't sure what my reaction might be. I wanted to be excited and happy but I was terrified that I'd just start crying remembering my last sonogram. It was actually quite exciting to see. They used the new 4D technology and it was amazing how clear everything was. You could see every feature. He or maybe she has her daddy's feet. They are keeping the sex of the baby a surprise so we just had pictures of the babies face, hands and feet. I was so relieved that it wasn't painful. It was a great experience that I'm glad she shared with me. This is actually baby number 4 for Bill and Jess. Their kids are beautiful! Attached is a picture of them with the first two, Kyla and Autumn. That pic is a few years old now so the girls are a bit older than they are in this picture. The second pic is of Delaney. She is the youngest. I took this pic of her at the Indianapolis Children's Museum this past fall. She's the cutest little crab!
