Ultrasound

Of all the tests, screenings, etc, you can have during a pregnancy, an ultrasound is the one thing that we do have. We're having this baby at home, like we did Dillon, so we aren't even pressured to have many of those other tests. But we love having an ultrasound! It's nice to know that the baby is growing and developing the way it should! And it's just fun to see the baby...it brings a sense of awe as we contemplate the creative power of God! And finally, we are thrilled to know the gender of the baby growing inside. It's a boy! We'll have two boys and a girl now. :) And truthfully, we would have been excited with either. Having one of each already, it didn't matter much to us which we ended up with. Chaeli is a bit disappointed that she won't be having a sister. In fact, she is already talking to me about having another so she can have a sister too! :) That is definitely not in the plans. :)

So that's our news. It's healthy. It's complete. It's just the right size for how far along I am. And it's a boy. We're happy!

Im so happy for you guys. I would have loved to experience a home birth but our hospital is 2 hours away and both girls had issues that could have potentially resulted in c-sections so I needed to have supervised births.

Im sure that Chaeli will grow more excited when she gets to see her new baby brother.

We will keep you guys in our prayers for good health and a smooth rest of the pregnancy.
