Thank you, thank you, thank you Jesus!
ProfileI did the calculation on where that might put me for a total weight at the end of this pregnancy and it was a scary thought... I can't imagine what a scary sight it might be!
We are having a.....
You might recall from previous posts that our OB was definitive and adament in his predication that this baby was, without a doubt, a BOY! Despite my own instincts, I convinced myself (and our sweet Noah) that this baby was going to be a BOY. Truly, I was SHOCKED to see the "three white lines" indicating the baby is, in fact, a GIRL! And the sonogram technician said she had no doubt about it :)
Next, the Sad...
As excited as I was to hear that we are having a girl, in that moment, I would've given anything for the news to be have been different...just so I didn't have to see the saddest face I have EVER seen on my sweet Noah!
He was so absolutely sure that he was going to have a little brother and had even been talking about names for his brother...When she sonogram tech gave us the news, I looked at my sweet son and I almost cried. His face fell, turned bright red, and his eyes welled with tears. I think he was in shock because he didn't say anything for about a minute. And then, in the sweetest, sadddest voice, he said...
"But I wanted it to be a boy."
Bless his sweet heart! By the end of the appointment, he had recovered a bit. But truthfully, I don't think I've ever seen him as sad as he was in that moment.
Thank goodness that a call to PaPa gave way to a plan to get together to watch the Jayhawks play in their first basketball game that night... that cheered him up!
We are so thankful for the good and shocking report and are anxious to get through the remainder of this waiting period, which by the way, is expected to end on...
March 27, 2010!
That was Noah's original due date in my 1st pregnancy too :)

Congratulations! I was thinking you would have a girl, but I tend towards girl thoughts since that's all I have myself. Despite Noah being a bit bummed this will definitely make the bedroom arrangement easier on you :) We're very excited for your family and will be keeping all FIVE of you in our prayers!
Sweet friend~ You know that I am thrilled for you! I know how grateful you are either way the gender goes. I managed not to well with tears with the news of a precious little girl until I saw her due date...Annabelle's Heaven day. To me, it's just perfect that you, my long lost soul sister, will be expecting another gift from God on the day that our baby girl went to His arms. I am so, so happy for you!!!
Love you, friend~ Rebecca
I'm so excited for you! Poor Noah though! Yea!!!
First time here! I found you through help matt and molly. I have been following their story and praying for the adoption of Waverley. However, today when I tried to click through to their blog, it told me the blog was not found. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. I thought maybe they thought it best to delete the blog or make it private? Either way, please let them know that we are praying in Baltimore, MD.
And congratulations on your sweet baby girl! We have two boys and two girls, so tell Noah to hang in there! :-)

Would it be possible to get an update on Waverley?
Thanks so much, and congratulations on your little girl! What a sweet family you have!
