BIG NEWS!

We have had a busy week. First, on Monday night we felt the baby kick! Charity was feeling the fluttering sensation and forced me to feel her belly. Just as I did, the baby moved. It was great!

Next, we went for an ultrasound today, and found out "It's a BOY!!!" We have been dying to find out and were so excited. The technician told us that it might take some time and that we would have to wait on her to measure some things before we found out. But just as soon as she went to measure the femur bone in the leg, we saw the obvious! The lady's exact words were, "That's the gender and he's a showoff!" It was exhilarating and a little embarrassing all at the same time. So, here are the pictures.

It is absolutely amazing what they can do with a little technology.

First, here is our baby boy in 4-D:
He looks like E.T. dipped in maple syrup, but he still has a few months to develop!









Next, this is him laying on his back, looking up to the sky. Otherwise known as a profile shot. His head is to the right and body on the left:








Last, we were able to see his tiny fingers waving at us. This is a view from above, you can see them here:








These are exciting times in our house and we are so thankful to share them with you. Thank you for all the prayers and encouraging words! We greatly appreciate them.
