We're Having a Baby!

July 10, 2005

A guest DefBlog entry from Kim: In late April, David and I were thrilled to learn we were expecting. We weren't really expecting a positive so soon after only 1 month of trying, but God blessed us immediately! We are now in the 15th week, and other than still feeling nauseous, things are great. Last week we starting feeling the little baby butterflies, and as of my last ultrasound on June 26th, the baby measured 12cm. Our due date is December 29th.
We have decided not to find out the sex of the baby, for several reasons. We want to be surprised at the delivery of course, and as far as "stuff" and "planning" goes, neutral is great because you can definitely re-use it. Once the baby is here we will get more gender-specific clothes, etc. We may get the doctor to write down the sex and put it in an envelope, and then maybe on our anniversary or on Christmas, if he can't stand it, David may open it. But if he does, he won't tell. I'm going to try to get him to be surprised with me though! That's a moment I would like to share, but we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the support and constant prayers of my best friend Dawn, who I am constantly on the phone with. My sister Wendy, who gives great advise and has given me TONS of toys, clothes, blankets, and you name it. A very special thanks to my great friend Tracy Brown, who rented the doppler for us, (the best gift ever for a worried mom) and has also given me tons of advise and clothes. And of course, thanks to Mom and Lynn for all the baby gear they have given us from their professional yard-sale skills!

We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful support system. Look for new, updated pictures on the home page later this week!
