Pregnancy Week 16

We had an ultrasound today. The tech scanned me for an hour, then the perinatologist came in and scanned for another thirty minutes. In the end, he said the baby looks like a healthy 16 week old! Great news.

Oh, and another bit of news from the appointment..."baby" is no longer just "baby". It's a girl!!! We're SOOO excited. I think that Loren was the only one vying for a little boy. So the poor guy will be outnumbered five to one now! The girls were all very happy and are already making plans for their newest little sister. We're completely up in the air for names, but have a couple we're leaning towards. Maybe in another few days we'll make a decision.

God is so good, and we are thanking Him for each day we are blessed to carry this child. To Him be all glory and honor and praise!

1Sam. 1:26 And she said, “Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the LORD.
1Sam. 1:27 “For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him.
1Sam. 1:28 “So I have also dedicated him to the LORD; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.
