BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were blessed to find out at our appointment on July 3rd that the Lord has given us a son!!! This is Kimmy writing for the first time in our blog. :) Before we went to our appointment I was quite anxious to finally be able to see our baby. I had began to feel the baby move around week sixteen, which has been for the last two to three weeks. I feel it most after I eat a meal or a snack, about ten minutes later the baby begins to move around and it feels as if someone is flicking me ever so gently from the inside out. I have tried to have Min feel it already but he cannot feel yet; I am sure in a few more weeks the movement will become more prominent! At our appointment the ultrasound technician was very nice and explained everything we saw on the screen. it was amazing to me that she could take a instrument and place it on my abdomen and instantly we could see the baby. At first I have to admit that the images I saw were foreign to me, but as she explained more and more we could make out his little lips and see him moving around his arm trying to get his little thumb in his mouth, taking after his mom in that. :) There was a moment that I cried as I watched the four chambers of his little heart beat; it was incredible to see and overwhelming to fathom God creating this baby inside of me!! As I laid on the table Min leaned over me, glued to the screen, in awe as well of what already has taken place in our baby's development in the last eighteen weeks! I felt as if I got to take a glimpse into God's creation as we peeked for a mere 30 minutes into my womb. God is magnificent to me and I am convinced once again that He is the Maker and Creator!! I spoke with a friend from Minnesota about an hour before our appointment and she suggested to me to drink some juice about thirty minutes before our appointment so that the baby was awake and moving around, making it easier to see the sex. So I took her advice and drank some OJ; and as the tech did the ultrasound our baby was moving like crazy, this made it easy to see his little manhood. :) You can see in the pictures above that his little legs were spread wide open, lol, we are already laughing at him!! We were very excited to find out that the baby was a boy; this is what we were hoping for and we are thankful that the Lord has given us a son!!!!! As our time ended with the tech, she explained to me that as of July 3rd I measured, baby and uterus, as nineteen weeks pregnant. This is one week ahead of what the doctors thought based on my last period. This pushes our due date to November 27th instead of December 2nd, which makes Thanksgiving this year interesting :) and gives us even more to be thankful for! Min and I have known names for a boy and a girl even before we became pregnant. So for our son we are planning to name him Ayden!! We are not sure about a middle name yet; we will be working on that in the months to come. :) We are thankful for your continued prayers for the health of our son and my health as well throughout this pregnancy! We pray that each of you is doing well and we are thankful for your lives and friendships!!!
forward to having two little girls to take care of in the coming months before Ayden arrives! Okay well we pray that this finds each of you doing well and that you have blessed days ahead! We love and miss you and are thankful for your lives and friendships!!!
