God loves him more than we ever could...

Hi all,

Thank you for praying for our son! God has answered and we had an ultrasound yesterday and he's "growing great" according to the tech. He weighs 2lbs 12 oz as far as they can tell and is in the 56th percentile for growth! Praise God! They checked his organs, etc. and he still looks really good, no issues they can see. What a relief!

We also found out that they won't let me go past my due date with his two vessel cord, so that's great! They said they don't let two vessel cord babies go past the due date for risk of still birth. My mom and sister are flying out around his due date, so they'll definitely get to meet him. Another answer to prayer. I thank God for his faithfulness!

I also had a glucose screen for gestational diabetes and they told me afterwards that no news is good news and I haven't heard anything since the test yesterday morning, so I assume all is well there, too.

Baby was practicing the can-can or something at about 4:30 this morning. More movement than I've ever felt. He's getting stronger!

Here are some pictures for you. During the ultrasound he was being a little bit shy and playing peek-a-boo... So you can't see his eyes, but you can see his cute nose and lips. He had the hiccups, too, which was very, very cute.

Eleven weeks or less until we get to meet this little guy on the outside :) Thanks so much for praying!!!!!

One Year!!!!

Wow, what an awesome first year! God has been so good to us, so faithful and so gracious, too. Looking back over the past year, I can't believe all we've been able to see, do, experience. It hasn't been perfect and easy, but it's been a pleasure to grow together and see the Lord drawing us closer to one another and more importantly to Himself through marriage.


We were able to get away this past weekend to celebrate our one year anniversary. We used the same iloveinns.com coupons and were able to stay a night free at the CliffPark Inn in Milford PA. It was a few days of adventure and relaxation. So wonderful! I got spoiled though, spending so much time with Nate... It'll be harder than ever to return to work. We enjoyed canoeing, hiking, waterfall seeking, drives through gorgeous woods and less gorgeous traffic jams and construction ;)

And if I wasn't already spoiled enough, Nate surprised me again today by having roses sent to me at work. So often, I feel God's lavish love through him. I don't take it for granted, that's for sure!

We have a follow-up ultrasound tomorrow morning to check on baby boy's growth and so we get to see him again! That's going to be very cool... We will also have our glucose screening, etc. I've heard that's not a fun test, but oh well!
