In Utero

Baby girl
                                              Fashioned by God's hand
                                                          You are a
                                                 Miracle in the making
                                                     A priceless jewel
                                                           Beautiful

                                                        Precious life
                                                 Cradled in the womb
                                                         So fragile
                                                        So amazing
                                               So perfect in every way
                                                      You are loved

Andrea Dietrich February 12, 2013 at 10:24 PM well, I remember my daughter in law being so mesmerized by her ultra sound of our grandson. I guess you caught that ultrasound fever, Kim. So sweet.
