Baby #2

Well, we got our 2nd peek at our little baby yesterday. We are officially 20 weeks into this pregnancy so we've reached the half-way point. It was a little different this time around. I remember with Faith's pregnancy, I was counting down the days until her 20 week sonogram...this time, the appointment kinda snuck-up on me. Still, it was so wonderful to be able to see the little one moving around and measuring correctly. Our friend, Mindy, watched Faith at our house so it was also nice to have some "alone" time with this baby (does that sound totally ridiculous??). After the appointment, we celebrated at one of our favorite restaurants (just like we did after Faith's sonogram). It was such a wonderful day!

We decided (again) to wait until the baby arrives to find out the gender. I must admit, it was much harder this time to not find out. I kept asking the sono tech if she had seen the gender yet. The 1st time she said no. After that, she said that she knew, I almost caved...we even contemplated calling later but I am glad we still don't know. My FAVORITE part of the delivery process is having Murray announce to me what the baby is (and then having him go out to the waiting room to announce it to our family). I LOVE that part!!

Here's the sweet little one's picture. I think the profile is very similar to Faith's. I can't wait to see what he or she looks like and I can't wait to see Faith's reaction to her baby brother or sister.

Thank you, God, for this beautiful and perfect gift!!
