Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh . . .

WE’RE HAVING A GIRL!

That’s right! We are thrilled to share that we are being blessed with another little bundle of love! We had our big doctor’s visit today to find out that the baby is growing well and moving around like crazy. We are so grateful to Jesus for the ways that He is providing for us and our little one! We saw our little sweet pea yawn and wiggle . . . and we were able to see all of the amazing things that the ultrasound shows . . . tiny fingers and toes, four chambers to the heart, two kidneys, and a sweet little face.

When it was time to find out the gender, Hatch and I both looked at the ultra sound screen and were able to guess that she was a girl . . . we were right! How fun! Hudson and William (who, much to my dismay, turned 18 months old yesterday!) will be such wonderful big brothers! William has even been practicing saying “girl, girl, girl!” and, they point to their belly or mine when we ask where the baby is . . . too cute! We are so thankful for the great, healthy report about our newest little bean!

This picture was taken when I was 14 weeks (I am 19 now—I promise to update more frequently!)

And, for comparison’s sake, this was me at 14 weeks with Hudson and William! (reminder: I was still in the throes of MAJOR morning sickness at this point!)

Please continue to pray for the health of our littlest one (and for her big brothers, too)! :)

Justin and Lindsey said...: Wooohooooo! Congrats, oh this is so exciting! I am so happy for you guys and will be praying for her development as she prepares to meet you guys. When are you due? We are having another little girl in September and are thrilled beyond belief. And ecstatic that we don't really have to buy anything since she can use all of Sophia's baby clothes. :) Can you send me your address so I can send the sweet baby girl a little something special? lindseyaholcomb@gmail.com; June 4, 2010 at 5:01 PM

About

We're a family of six doing our best to remember this wild time in our lives--the laughter, the chaos, the use of sharpies on furniture--you know, the memories we want to hold onto of the four little ones under our roof. Life around here is very full, very imperfect, and often crazy. This is a tiny glimpse of the good times around here--we're choosing what to show you and when to share it. Our hope for this blog is to easily stay connected with friends and family and to remember that at the end of the day, what matters is that we are all in this together and we are deeply loved . . . while it may seem that chaos, laundry and diapers abound, grace and forgiveness abound all the more. This blog is not real life: it is a snapshot of the good times (trust me, there are bad times, too--but I'm less likely to document them here) . . . so enjoy, and be in touch!
