Feisty Little Fire-Breathing Dragon

This is what the ultrasound technician called Brandt today for his check-up! He was happy as a lark in his pre-natal home, moving all over the place and making the most hilarious faces at us. One way they monitor his "practice" breathing is with a color-coded chart of blue for "breathing" inflow and red for "outflow". He had his best practice breathing day yet with strong flow both ways -- hence the fire-breathing nickname. So he's apparently content to grow, batter my insides, and prep for the real challenge yet to come as he enters this world to meet us next week.

  2. I know what you mean about the "battering your insides" part. I think I have a fiesty one too. Maybe they'll be friends :)

  3. I love the name you chose for your blog! It's hard to believe Brandt will be here next week. When you feel overwhelmed, just remember that wherever you go and whatever may happen, God is already there. Dr. Brown's wife said that to me once and it has been a comforting thought many times. We will be praying for you as the time for Brandt's arrival draws near.

  4. Lindy - I found your blog via facebook. Since I got to care for lots of "heart" babies in my NICU days - I will be praying for you all specifically!
    Blessings,

  5. "For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" Matthew 18:20

    We are certainly gathered in His name waiting for you little one, no matter how far we are geographically.

    May He bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.
