This time last year

We just have to share more ultrasound photos of William. These photos were taken at a time when we discovered that something may be wrong with William. A turning point. Before this time we lived each week happily oblivious that something could ever go so wrong, we grew more and more confident that we were "out of the woods", odds were so low that anything bad could happen after 20 weeks.

Then our whole world turned upside down. We transferred to a high risk hospital and high risk specialists. We told our family.

We were still hopeful that everything may change, ultrasounds weren't 100% after all, maybe the next ultrasound would look better...

We like to think that these ultrasound photos represent how beautiful a growing life can be - how incredible that it unfolds for a little baby growing in the womb. We love looking at his scans and comparing them to his actual photos at birth. Every time we look, we see something new. 

With love,
Liz and Tom

3D scan of William with his hands over his face

He looks like he's sleeping in this one, cute little nose and lips and chin

5 little fingers up near his nose, his mouth is slightly open

Hand up by his head, his strong little heart can be seen in his chest, and his pudgy little belly underneath. A full bladder and cute little leg tucked in nice and cozy

  1. His photos are so precious. Thank you for sharing them. They always bring a smile to my face.

    Was camping this weekend up in New Hampshire and the stars were so bright and clear. Made me think of him.


    Love you,
    Alex and Erik
