It's Almost Time!

We're so proud of the baby today... it looks like God gave us a very obedient child, haha! Our OB kindly did us a favor despite her busy schedule today, and squeezed in an ultrasound just to find out the sex for us. I love our OB... I love how she understands and shares the excitement with her patients. Things like this make this experience so much more memorable.

The Ultrasound
It was funny because she wanted us to see the development of the baby, but when she moved a little further down, she said, "Oh, I think you guys should look away now." Apparently, the baby was exposing him/herself quite obviously, and she didn't think to have it on the screen so fast and so clearly (is this a hint??). An may have seen something because apparently, he went deaf for a few moments when she told us to look away (LOL), but he still isn't sure of what it is (probably from his lack of experience, or because he doesn't want to guess wrong).

The Victory
My! How the baby has grown in just a few weeks! We heard the heartbeat loud and clear this time through the doppler, and the ultrasound photos are much clearer now. The baby seems to be petite just like it's mama, but it's still going strong and is very healthy. Despite the spurt of fevers from a spontaneous infection, we were always in good hands. There was no reason for worry, God is with us every step of the way! I appreciated the sermon presented by Pastor Khanh yesterday. It was a great reminder of who our God is through His many names. In this case, we're thankful for our Jehovah Sabboath, the Lord of hosts. We're covered with His protection and He is always prepared to give us victory. Baby, you are our victory!

The Reveal (to Mom + Dad)
We're going to open the envelope together over some quality time tonight. It's a very exciting time for us as first-time parents. We knew immediately we wanted to find out as soon as physically possible, so you can only imagine our anticipation! I think we are blessed to be finding out as early as 16 weeks. Tomorrow will be our gender reveal get-together with a very small group of close friends and family. I love finding reasons to celebrate, and to me, there's no better reason than the coming of a new life! Can't wait!

What will it be? A pretty little "she" or a handsome little "he?" ;)

Revealing it back at Starbucks, where it all "started"... ;)

Ready for tomorrow! So much fun!
