Baby update

So just an update on the baby. We had our first sonogram today and got to see the baby (jelly bean) and see it's heartbeat. Everything looks good. We are actually a week further along than we thought, so they moved the due date up to Jan 27th. Here are the sonogram pics that they sent home with us. Grace wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole thing I think. She is hoping for a baby sister now, so we will just have to wait a couple of months to see what we are having. The sonogram tech said she recommends waiting until 20 weeks to find out, just so you can really get a good chance to see, as sometimes you can't tell at 16 weeks, which is when some people try to find out. So we are 8 weeks along now and will be able to see in 12 weeks what we're having!

Adding to the clan

We are so excited that we are expecting our second child. We just found out a couple of weeks ago and were very shocked, but are very excited. Grace goes back and forth between wanting a brother or a sister. Steve of course is hoping for a boy and I am just happy that we are finally having one. We weren't trying so we were very surprised, but God has his own plans and things are always done in His time. Please keep us in your prayers that we have a healthy pregnancy and baby. We also need prayers for both our jobs. I am losing some of my kiddos to preschool this year :(. Very sad, but very excited for them to start this new chapter in their lives. Steve's company is also finishing up their merger and we are not sure about his job situation once it is completed. We hope all is well for you.
