The little Kicker

On Monday evening Dan and I went to the hospital for a tour. We sat and listened to a very long lecture for about 1 1/2 hours first! Then they took us around the hospital so that we could see all the rooms we will be in and the process of our admittance into the hospital. It was informative and another little step to make things feel more real. It was good to help relieve a little of my anxiety too!

I've been feeling the baby kick more and more too! It's not that often, usually when I'm lying still or sitting and trying to pay attention to someone speaking. It's so amazing! It's fun to feel him. It always reminds me of God's goodness to us and that we are so blessed!

IT'S A BOY!

This evening we had our big ultrasound. We got to see lots of fingers and toes! It was very exciting! The baby even gave us a big yawn. The technician was over 90% sure that it is a boy! I guess we better get working on those boy names.
It was so neat to see the baby move around inside of Aimee. When we went to dinner afterwards the lady looked at the pictures and said, "That's why we should believe in God." It is an amazing miracle.
We are super excited!

'Behold children are a heritage from the LORD,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth,
Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!'
Psalm 127:3-5

3rd Visit

Last night we had our third visit with our midwife. Everything is going well. It was good to hear the baby's heartbeat again. I had missed it. Each time she would find the heartbeat, the baby would quickly move. The baby was being very active. Dan thinks that is a sign of a little boy. We will see in less than a week! I'm so excited for the 11th!
I've had more energy lately, so that is good. I'm also able to continue with my regular exercise routine. I have had to put that on the back burner lately as work has taken most of my energy. Oh, and I do get to go get some very fashionable compression stockings for work. That should be fun.
