Week 18 Ultrasound: It’s a girl!
March 7, 2008 by theospeak1

Beautiful profile shot of our little one. 18 weeks. 8 ounces. She was moving all around, sucking her thumb, placing her hands over her ears. A little bundle of life. A small person. Every finger in place. Little toes. Wrists. Ribs. A beating heart. A miracle.

Did I mention she was sucking her thumb?

This is the miracle shot. It’s the most amazing ultrasound image I’ve ever seen in my life. This is the face of my daughter at 18 weeks. How could anyone say she’s just a tissue mass? She moves. She reacts. Her heart beats. I’m not saying if someone has had an abortion they should be judged or there isn’t grace for them. I’m just saying they should stop and realize this is a life, a person. The choice was made four months ago. The child is a blessing. Always. Period.
