Well........................IT'S A BOY!!!!!
We had our first sonogram yesterday and the tech was very clear that it was a boy! She was not even looking for it and was surprised by it! So, we are excited to bring a boy into this world. His name is ____________. (Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough...)
Raising a son is a daunting task because I know myself as a boy/man. Only God can change his heart, but I pray that I can shepherd it in the right direction. We are holding him with an open hand as God will do what He wants with him, and we are so excited to see what that will be!
Also, __________ is a big boy, apparently (10 oz.). We are pretty sure we are at 18 weeks, but the sonogram put us at 19 1/2 weeks. So either we are wrong (but we were charting so it would be hard to be wrong) or he is a big baby right now. Either way, it looks like right after the first of the year we will have a son if everything goes to full term! But they said everything looks great and no problems that we can see.
Praise God!
Looks like we have a rent house to move into, we will get the contract today to make sure everything is good and that they will let us get in there the next couple days to move our stuff. We have plenty of help and that is a blessing because it may be an all-day Thursday move! But this place is perfect for us and we are excited about having everyone over!
My job search is frustrating. It seems like every road is blocked, but it has been a blessing from God because I have all day to pack and look for a house, etc. So God's timing is perfect, maybe after this week things will break loose. Please pray for that.
We love you all and look forward to sharing our son with you! _________ is truly a miracle and a blessing to us!

Yea! It is so fun to see the sonogram and know that you're SON is doing so well. Emily, you have really "bumped" out there since I last saw you. John was 9 lb. 1 oz. so the potential for a big baby is there. I am also very grateful for the rental house coming through. Like I told you, God is rarely early but He is never late! Your future work plans will be revealed as well. Love you so much and am so proud of you and Emily. ------Mom
