It's All Good

Isn't he cute?  Or maybe she?  No, we didn't want to find out the gender (we've had too much fun being surprised the other three times), but we did find out that God had answered a very specific prayer request concerning my health (and the baby's).

There are certain risks that increase with every c-section a woman has, having to do with scar tissue and things such as that.  In fact, my doctor sent me to a "high-risk" doctor for this ultrasound, just to make sure that she would get a more detailed evaluation of my womb.  So we made that a very specific matter of prayer.  When the ultrasound was over, he told me that everything was located in the best possible place!  What a blessing!

Of course, that isn't to say that there still aren't risks, as with any pregnancy.  But those are things with which we just continue to trust God.  During the ultrasound, all three kids sat still, watched the monitor on the wall, and asked a million questions--evidence that they too are amazed at the thought of a new life being knit together inside the womb (even though they don't quite word it like that!)

We are excited beyond measure to find out--in October--if it will be a brother or sister, and even more, to see what amazing features God has granted to this one!  We'd appreciate your prayers!
