It's a boy!This week's much-anticipated ultrasound showed that everything's looking good with little Peanut's development, and revealed that we'll be welcoming a son into the world in January! He's a big boy and showed off a pretty full belly when he had his picture taken on Tuesday. The technician told us he must like to eat (seems to be a common theme for our kids). He's weighing in at about 10 ounces but we weren't able to get a length for him, so we'll just guess that he's on track at about 6 or 7 inches long (head to rump) this week.
Peanut's been moving like crazy this past week, kicking, squirming and--our ultrasound showed us--head-butting my upper abdomen. Justin's able to feel the firmer kicks now, but much of our son's rolling around is still only discernible to me. He was a sleepy little boy during our scan on Tuesday, yawning, stretching and sleeping through most of the one-hour exam.
His sensory development is beginning to take off this week and his brain is designating special areas for his senses. Peanut can hear us now, and unless he's going to be a baldy when he's born, the hair on his head should be sprouting around this time.
Please pray for us as we prepare for the awesome responsibility of welcoming a son into the world and into our family. Just when we thought we had this girl thing figured out, one of my friends pointed out that now we get to relearn everything! We know God has a plan and a purpose for our little boy...pray that we would be up to the task of raising this precious gift up to know and love his Creator!
No names yet...but we're getting close!
