Pregger Update...

April 6th- Found out that we were having a boy
April 10th- We picked his name ;)
April 13th- He moved for the first time and didn't stop, especially when Mark read to him (Psalm 139)

Sickness: Getting alot better & easier to control (have to eat every hour)

Energy: I have way more which I'm loving, though I still love my naps

Appointments: I have my next appt. on the 23rd and then I think I have to do the sugar-blood test soon after that. In the ultrasound, the tech said he looked really good, that for some of the time he had both hands on his bum or both hands up by his face. My favorite part of the ultrasound was when he stretched....probably the cutest thing I've ever seen! We have decided to get the 3D ultrasound when we are down on the island in May, so we are pretty pumped for that...getting to see him one more time before he arrives!

'Blessed from all sides'

This is how I'm feeling lately. Everywhere we turn, we are seeing the extravagant provision of God. Needs & wants are being fulfilled all around us. I feel so overwhelmed at His faithfulness. On more than one occasion, I have prayed "God, I know we can't afford it at all, but if we could just find a nice second hand_______." Within a day or so, someone contacts me and asks if I would want one! I just am so amazed!!
He is so good to us.

Boyhood is a most complex and incomprehensible thing. Even when one has been through it, one does not understand what it was. A man can never quite understand a boy, even when he has been the boy.-- G. K. Chesterton

Lord, make my son, to be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face fear when he is afraid, be teachable in defeat, humble and gentle in victory. Make him a hero before my eyes. Make him a world changer. Let me not be blind to his faults, but gracious in his weakness. Let me know how to shape him into the man you've already made him to be.
