Baby!

It's official -- we're adding another BOY to our family! We had our 20-week ultrasound today and all the boy parts were there. We were not surprised at all, but it was good to have our thoughts confirmed. Even better than this news is the fact that everything about the baby looked good. I was reminded again of how good God is to give us children, but not only that, healthy children. We do not deserve anything from his hand and yet he continues to bestow these blessings upon us. He is the creator of all life and is the one who knits together all those parts of a baby so perfectly. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! 

It is also very kind of God to give us another boy. I think he and Liam will be tremendous friends. Liam definitely needs a playmate! Liam is already talking about all the things he will teach his brother, particularly all the Thomas trains and all about trucks. 

Thank you for your prayers for this baby! Please pray the rest of my pregnancy goes well and the baby continues to grow strong and healthy. 

Again, the intricacies of the spine growing together is astounding. 

We can't wait to meet this baby!
