It's a . . .

BOY! :o)

The Lord blessed us with a very good ultrasound today! :o) Our little boy cooperated nicely (even flipping over at the end so we could see his spine.) :o) The technician was wonderful--she explained exactly what we were seeing at each point and what she was measuring and why. We are definitely having a little boy. He looks very healthy and is actually measuring about 4 days ahead of schedule.

We will be having another ultrasound next month though as they found a tiny cyst in one of the brain lobes. Such cysts appear in about 1 out of 20 ultrasounds, and 99% of the time they disappear around 22 weeks. It's associated with a birth defect for which I had blood screening which came back normal. Our doctor is not particularly concerned, but just as a precaution, we'll have another ultrasound at 24 weeks to make sure everything's okay. Thanks for praying with us! :o)

Otherwise, everything looks great! :o)

"You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well."
Psalm 139:13-14

How exciting. It's so fun to be able to get a glimpse of the little one growing inside of you.
