This was the best ultrasound yet!
Little Miss Priss was showing her fiesty side at this Wilmington appointment. Before Mom and I went in, we prayed in the car for signs of hope, Lydia being silly, and that we would be able to see her face. And boy, did we get exactly that! The Lord is faithful.
The ultrasound tech kept commenting on how much she was moving around, moving her limbs, and flipping from one side to another—all these things they have NEVER seen Lydia do before. Also, she had distinctive muscle tone in her legs, great heart beat, she has grown to 2 lbs. and her bladder was full (a sign she can swallow). Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Her back and neck are still hyper-extended, feet are still clubbed, but we are so thrilled to know she can move around and seems very stable.
Middle name
I’ve been feeling her move for the past two weeks, and occasionally will feel “kicks.” It’s so great to feel that and see her move on the ultrasound TV screen. She’s brought us so much joy already, so we have decided that will be her middle name—Lydia Joy.

I cried happy tears during the sonogram! Prayers have been working! Please continue to pray for Lydia to grow stronger, develop even more muscle tone, continue to learn to swallow and strengthen her diaphragm (for easier breathing after being born) and to loosen the constrictors of her hands, feet and neck! Go ahead and claim it! Thanks to everyone that is praying and following her story! God bless you all!

Praise God!!!! Yes God is so faithful.
Just keep trusting and believing. The Bible asks a question, is there anything to hard for God? Well you got your answer, NO.
God is honoring you for your faithfulness and trust in Him.
