A precious gift : Baby Guacheno!

The first time we saw him he was sucking on his bottom lip. His eyes are open and his feet are up by his head with his ankles crossed. You can see his leg bones and that dark shape on the right is his elbow. Too Cute! I really believe it's a miracle. Just 24 weeks ago (actually 22) he was nothing more than two cells and now is is a perfectly formed little person with functioning organs who exercises his muscles by kicking and moving around all the time. His hair started to grow in week 22/23 and he hears and sees light and darkness. Amazing!



First smile that we could see; everyone in the room goes...ahhhh he smiled! Great Grandpa, my mom, all the kids, my friend Wendy and her little Callie all got to see the ultrasound on a big screen! We have a dvd and it was amazing and immediately apparent that it is a boy!

I went to garage sale last saturday and bought tons of boy clothes in perfect condition; little warm sleepers ~ never had a winter baby before! I paid what I thought was an overpriced $35 dollars for a glider chair ~ which can I just say I have wanted with every child and never got one because they are SO much money ~ but I looked online and it's $700 new...that's crazy to me. It's very comfy and I can't wait to gaze and cradle my little gift from God.

Today Read PSALM 139
It will bless you and refresh you and give you hope!

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place when I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. "

But really you should read the whole thing; it's all quite inspiring!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 3D ultrasounds. You can really see a little person rather than an alien looking blob.

I also an SO excited that it is a BOY!!! We need a few more boys hanging around...and I get to make something blue for him for Christmas :o)

Now Christina better get busy so he has a cousin his age to play with! Because God knows I'm not planning on giving him a playmate!
