It's a GIRL!!

That's right. In a few short months we'll have a precious baby girl! We are tickled pink and can't wait to meet her. Now she just needs a name! Any suggestions? Below are some pictures of the ultrasound we had today. It shows her laying down and also a picture of her foot, which looks quite large :) 10 of you were right on the gender poll - way to go! Above all else, she looks healthy and is definitely very mobile - Praise the Lord!!

Being sick is no fun!

Yes, I've been sick since Sunday morning, and it's not fun!! I've had a stomach bug that I can't seem to get rid of. Since I'm pregnant, there's not a whole lot I can do about it. I talked to my doctor and since I'm not able to hold anything down, I had to go to the ER this morning to get an IV so I could get some fluids back in me. We got to see the baby, but unfortunately the ER doctor couldn't tell us the sex! Apparently he doesn't do it often enough to be able to interpret ultrasounds. I was so bummed, but we only have 6 more days, so I guess I'll have to sit tight a little longer. The good thing is that the baby is doing great, despite having nothing to live on the past few days! I was so worried, so seeing that baby kicking like crazy was a huge comfort. I've been feeling the baby move so much lately and it's such an amazing feeling! Wes even got to feel him/her last night and it was incredible. What a joy this little baby is to us already! I don't know if we can wait until May to meet this little one!! Well, tune back in soon so you can find out the gender! I'll be updating next week after we find out.

Boy or Girl?

I’ve posted a poll on the left side of my blog to see what everyone thinks Baby Tyler’s gender is. Be sure to participate! It won’t be long until we know. Below is a picture of my baby bump. It’s not much yet, but it’s definitely there. I’m 17 weeks now, so hopefully I’ll start feeling the baby kick soon. I can’t wait to feel those little feet inside me!

Wesley and I wanted a “theme” verse to pray for our baby’s life and we’ve decided on Philippians 1:10-11: “For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation – the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ – for this will bring much glory to God.”

Although we are praying many things for our baby, we are most importantly praying for his or her salvation and relationship with the Lord. Please join us in praying.

Don’t forget the poll – boy or girl?!
