Ultrasound Update

I have a niece or nephew on the way, and we won't know for several more weeks if this sweet baby is a he or she. My brother called me today on his way to work after their first ultrasound. It is so exciting to hear him tell me about this baby. He was amazed (as all of us who have been where he is) to see/hear the heartbeat, to see 2 arms, 2 legs and the 2 sides of the brain developing. Just amazing. I want this baby to know how excited his/her parents were on this day and the days to come. I pray for them and the baby. Jenny is somewhat relieved, but at the same time, she is worried/nervous. I remember this feeling all too well. I was reminded today that I was so nervous throughout both of my pregnancies - only to realize that the real nervous feeling came when the babies were here. I knew there was more to worry about. Kyle's first comment was well the little peanut is 38 (I think) mm long. He was carrying one of the photos to work with him. I am just overjoyed for them!!

It really is amazing to consider the miracle that we as parents participate in when we are able to carry our own children.
