Baby Update

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words (and the many emails). God has used you to help give us strength to go on!

We are all doing well and adjusting to the news ourselves! The sickness is minimal. We had an ultrasound today to see how far along I am and saw a very clear picture of the baby. She/He was moving a lot and we got some great pictures. The amazing thing is that it is already completely formed (it is 12 weeks); the Dr. said that it just has to get bigger, a lot bigger (it is 4.4 centimeters right now)! Can you believe we really saw a little leg and arm waving and captured it on film? We have an amazing Creator!



Our little sweetheart should arrive around August 22, 2008. We are praying that it doesn't come too early, like Preston, who had to spend a few days in the NICU. I've never had an August baby...right through the hot summer. What fun!!!

Thanks again for your support, everyone!

Glad to know you are feeling good and the baby is doing well - tell him/her to aim for August 8th - that is a wonderful day to be born. "-)

Julie-
This is a beautiful post! I always was amazed how perfectly formed my babies where when they were in my womb...even when they were the size of a lima bean!

We are thrilled for you!
Sheila and family

Julie,
Congratulations!! I shouldn't say this but I just imagine the baby has to be a girl...she is cheerleading at an early age.
You and Rob are wonderful parents and this new little one will just add more joy to your home.
Love, Sue
