We have decided to visit two hospitals to consider for your care, CHOP in Philadelphia and Vanderbilt in Nashville. Our first appointment was made for Philly. Most of your brothers and sisters are with us and we are going to meet the doctors together. Mommy had to have an MRI and I wasn't sedated. I've never had one of those and since you are so big, I had to lie down in a funny way and stay still for a whole hour! Soon you will find that it's hard for me to hold still for 5 minutes, much less an hour. I used that time to pray for you and continued to ask the Lord to heal you. After our MRI, we went to have a sonogram and a fetal echocardiogram. The sonographers were so sweet and they were laughing because you kept moving so much and every time they tried to get a picture of your face, you would try and grab your feet. Your legs were over your head, along with an umbilical cord and one hand. We finally were able to see you and you are just beautiful. You are a Seabrook for sure with your little button nose and perfect rosebud lips. Every sonographer keeps commenting on how much hair you have! And you are already more than 4 lbs!! Way to go! If you continue at this rate, you might beat Daddy's record of 11lbs 4 oz!
