Boy or Girl??

Today was a big day for us!  TODAY we got to find out if God has blessed us with a baby boy or girl!!!  We were both way too curious to wait and decided a while back that we definitely wanted to find out.  Well folks, we are SUPER excited to announce that we will be having GIRL!!!!! 

Nope, nothing there to indicate boy....must definitely be a GIRL ;).

She seemed to like to stay nice and curled up ;) - if you look to the right you'll see her head and then one of her hands up there by it.

Ok....so I think our baby might have some long legs! haha....during the ultrasound she decided to stretch her legs and the tech got this pic of one of them!  So crazy.

Curled up in a ball again :) - head to the right with her hands by her face, love it.

We made a stop here, in Phoenix, on our way back from Maine so we could have our last appointment with our midwife down here (we will be switching to one in Cali).  Tomorrow we leave in the a.m. to fly back to California.  What a great week it’s been….Maine, finding out what our baby is, getting a healthy check up….Thank you God for such an awesome week!

We are VERY excited to share about our Vision Trip to Maine with you all and will be posting about that soon once we are back to Cali!!  For right now though, we were just too excited to wait to share this tid bit of news with you ;).

Thank you for all of you who continue to pray for us and for the health and safety of our baby!!!  It was so exciting to hear her heartbeat today again and see her moving around in the ultrasound.  We feel so very blessed!

While we are on the subject of the baby, we had a thought the other day that - there are probably a few of you that have been wondering if having a baby will change any of our plans or the direction we are headed.  We wanted to let you all know that we are still moving forward and nothing about our plans have changed – except that we will have a little baby in tow ;) (which makes it even better!).  We are still raising support full time and Kaleb is also working part time at another job.  Once we have reached 100% of our monthly support we will be moving and working full time with Lifelines (yay! :) )!  We did make the decision recently to stay in California for the rest of the time we will be support raising.  There will be a few trips here and there, but we will be making our semi-permanent home for the time being, in Northern Cali.  We have such a peace about this and have seen since getting back to that area how the Lord continues to confirm to us both that for right now, this is where we should be.     

We feel SO incredibly blessed to even be having this baby and know how much of a God thing it is!!  His timing is always perfect and He knows what He is doing.  We are very much looking forward to being parents and bringing our child with us into full time ministry with Lifelines!  I have a feeling our little girl is going to learn to start climbing like her Daddy at a very young age ;) haha.

20 and a half weeks!!
