We are expecting!

We are expecting! Jennifer is about eleven weeks along and today, we saw the first glimpse of our new baby. It was such a thrilling sight to see. So much so, Jennifer was in tears and I must have said the word "wow" at least ten times. The nurse commented with Jenn crying and me saying wow repeatedly that she was "about to lose it." The doctor even commented this is what she lives for to see the joy that is present when a couple first see the child.

We were so overcome that this little thing only 3.75 centimeters in length (almost 1.5 inches) was our new little one. The doctor says the baby's size looks normal and the heartbeat is strong. How amazing it was to see the pixels on the sonogram screen flutter, representing our little one's heartbeat. In ten weeks we will know the sex of the baby.

We thank the Lord for this wonderful blessing and pray for a healthy, bouncing baby. I firmly believe the Lord sets challenges in front of us to facilitate our growth. That is why I am convinced that the baby will be a girl

;-).

Anyways, we wanted to share the glimpse of our new baby with you which gave us so much joy. Jenn is doing great despite some nauseau and headaches.
