Look's like we're having a little baby girl! Our ultrasound on Tues. went really well. There were no concerns or any abnormalities seen. It's incredible how much you can see on an ultrasound. We saw everything from her kidneys, to her heart, to each hand and foot! Amazing. New due date is Mar. 7 (it's no longer Texas Independence Day, Mar. 2). Not sure why it's so difficult to pin down, but it seems to be. It's definitely becoming more and more real. Chris and I got our first real piece of baby gear in the form of a glider and ottoman off of craigslist last week. It's awfully pastel and early 90's (even though it's only a few years old...hmmm) so we'll look into recovering it. Last night we scored a moses basket from our friends Karl and Ellen to use for the first few months.
One thing I've noted in the past several months--maternity clothes. It's a slippery slope into the world of terrible clothes and I think this is a potentially hazardous gateway season in one's life. I was really surprised to see that they sell 2 piece outfits at Motherhood that consist of a patterned top and solid color, matching bottoms. Wow, it's tempting with it's ease and convenience but please, please don't let me go there. I'm asking for accountability here people!?
But seriously, we are awed by the gift of a little one that somehow we are supposed to care for and parent. We need prayer. Sometime worry and anxiety about the future can overwhelm and dishearten me. I wish this weren't the case. If you think of it, please pray that we'd trust in the Lord who made us, who is making our baby, and who controls all things. Please pray for joy and against stress. Thank you in advance.
Much love and we can't wait to share more with you in the days to come.
Congrats! We are so excited for you! I would love to see that cute belly! Do you have names? Jeff and I were talking about when we use to hang out all the time. We miss that and I really miss getting to know you!
