Burning Ones

So it’s a bit late, we know. With all the craziness and site changes its been one of those “we should really get around to doing that.” So even though anyone who would ever read this already knows, we wanted to announce it more for the site :-).

• When I’m due: October 6, 2008
• When we found out: February 5, 2008; 5:30 AM
• Our first ultrasound: February 28, 2008; 8 weeks (pictured right- we saw the heartbeat! 176 bpm)
• When I first felt the baby: April 16, 2008 (15.5 weeks- yes I know its early, but its definitely the baby)
• The “big” ultrasound: May 20, 2008- 1 more week!!
• Today I’m: 19 weeks

We’re super excited! God made it extremely clear that this was only a surprise for us (maybe I’ll write more about it in another post). On the day that we found out Tim and I both strongly felt (independently) that God was telling us it was a boy. We have absolutely no practical idea why God would tell us something like that but I’m excited for anything God wants me to know about my child. So although we weren’t going to find out the sex originally I think now we are to see if we were hearing God right :-) After all, we are human.

This is a picture of us on the day we found out. We look totally out-of-it. I’m not sure if that was because it was so early in the morning, if we were still completely shocked, or whether we were just tired from all the excitement (I don’t really remember). I always thought that I would be jumping hysterically up and down and crying/laughing when I found out, but when I found out out I showed him the test, smiled, and we hugged. It was more like a joyful-calm.
