Baby News!
We had our 20 week ultra sound today and everything went very well! It was so fun to see our baby on the screen and to see lots of important body parts growing normally and looking "beautiful" as the technician said. :)
We did end up finding out what the baby is... We're having another girl! We're thrilled. We honestly would have been happy with either gender, but if we had to pick we both agreed we would have picked a girl this time. And we admitted that before the ultra sound. :) I loved having a sister very close in age to me and I think Rachel will as well.
Ethan now officially thinks he has a private link to God, since he first asked God that I would get pregnant and then he asked for another baby sister and he's getting one. He's very matter-of-fact about the fact that he's getting another sister -- "Well, that's what I asked God for." I've been explaining to him a lot today that we love any babies we have and God only gives us what He feels is best and not everything we want.
Our daughter looks quite healthy. As a matter of fact, she's been named our future soccer player and gymnast. The Tech was quite annoyed with how bouncy and active she was. I remember Rachel being the same way in the womb, so I'm not too worried. :)
Anyway, thank you all so much for your continued prayers! I know I don't post about the pregnancy that often, but probably because its going so well. I'm feeling quite normal and relaxed and enjoying it as much as I can. We only have 4 1/2 months until we meet our new girl and we know that's going to fly by.
Her name will be announced at her birth. :)



This is so exciting. My extremely curious side is totally glad you found out. ;-) It is so precious that Ethan has such a strong, outspoken faith about even the small things. It's so childlike and earnest.
So happy for you guys (again). This is wonderful news! :-)
I thought of you Gina. All my friends with only boys say they love any excuse to shop for PINK clothes. :)
Oddly enough, we actually are in need of some newborn and 0-3 month clothes for this little one. We had several for Rachel, but we had borrowed them and had to give them back. :(
Thanks for your excitement. We're all pretty excited over here. Rachel is already calling her "Baby Pincess".
Congrats on the news! Ethan is so sweet- what a great heart and such faith already! We can't wait to meet her!
...on another baby girl! You were right this time! Glad to hear she's healthy and doing well.
I'm so excited for you guys! Girls are great - congratulations to you all!
And can I just add that I CRACK up thinking of you whenever I put a bra on? HOW did you not ever notice the adjuster thingies?? LOL!
