Constant Beginnings

At 15 weeks we went to a German OB for an ultrasound. He was 99% certain that it was a boy, but I wasn't convinced since it was so early. Well, 5+  weeks later, it is still a BOY!! I never thought I'd be a boy mom! I just assumed since we already had two lovely girls, that maybe we'd only have girls. What a surprise! Chris is ecstatic. I am too, just shocked! He is measuring a bit ahead right now--15 ounces, heart rate was 158 bpm. Other than that, he looks perfect. His hands stayed pretty close to his face the entire hour of our appointment, so we only saw glimpses of his little eyes, nose and mouth. He looks beautiful and we couldn't be happier. Let the shopping begin.

Little One, Here I am at work. Trying to work, but can't seem to keep focus on anything but you. The anticipation is growing. Everyone is excited. Mya talks about you all the time. Claire cannot wait to meet you. Daddy is convinced you are a "he," whereas I am not certain. Not in denial, just not convinced. I do want to know, see the proof. That will come soon enough. In a little over one hour to be exact. I am now 20 weeks, 5 days and we are going to the doctor for the anatomy scan. Daddy and I will look at you with amazment. Pure joy and happiness as our prayers have been answered. We frequently sit in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that this is real, to see God's plan for our family is becoming more and more clear. I am excited to see your beautiful face, your 10 fingers, 10 toes and watch you kick and wiggle around. It is today that we will see if you are in fact, a little girl or a precious little boy. Each wonderful. Each a gift. You are, swee...
