Junk on Display

Today's the day! We went to the doctor for my 20 week appointment & sonogram & got some great pics of our baby! Here's the cute little alien face (& abdomen):

If you can't tell what's what, the head is on the right & the baby is 'looking at' the camera. The mouse arrow is pointing to the right eye...I think. ;o) Other than the sonogram, we also got all the test results back from bloodscreen/etc. & everything looks great! We are so thankful that we have a healthy & active baby (it was going crazy flipping around, doing the running man, & waving at us the whole time) - God is good!

Now for the big reveal!

This is the 'sitting on the copy machine' view with the booty on the upper left, legs sticking out at 3:00 & 6:00, and there in the middle - well, we've got some boy parts, y'all! In case you missed it, the ultrasound tech was nice enough to point it out with the mouse arrow! Ha ha! So, there ya go! It's a boy! :)

We are ecstatic! It was the definitely the most emotional event of the pregnancy so far for both of us. I think it finally made it 'real' for us & we're thrilled to be able to say HIM instead of IT all the time. We're working on names & we think we have one ready, but we're still thinking & praying on that for now.

Speaking of praying, as I was driving from work to pick John up for the appointment, I was praying a "Thy will be done" kind of prayer. I felt that amazing peace that only God can give & Psalm 139 came to mind (especially verses 13-16). It's one of my favorites & it definitely became special in a new way today. I just keep thinking about how God already knows & loves our baby boy even though we haven't met him in person yet.

On a fun note, John had to go back to church/work after the appointment, so I celebrated with a pedicure:

I had to go with blue! Also, we found this bedding a while back & knew if we had a little boy, he would have this theme for his room! My favorite part is the drumset rug & quilt!

I think that's enough for one day! Can you tell I'm excited??? :)

Julie said...: So exciting! Congratulations! I put it on my calendar that today you'd find out and although I do hope you get to have a little girl as well, I'm glad she'll have her protective older brother to take care of her! I can't wait to meet the little guy (maybe when we're home for Christmas?). Praying that the rest of your pregnancy goes well!; May 4, 2010 at 9:41 PM

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
