Just a few bumpdates for you!

G-r-o-w-i-n-g by the day over here at 19 weeks tomorrow!  Can't believe that we are HALF WAY DONE next week! It blows my mind.  I am one of those crazy people who has absolutely loved being pregnant.  Above are a few bumpdate photos to update you on baby Peters making his or her appearance these days! 

Speaking of.....TWO DAYS UNTIL WE FIND OUT THE GENDER of our little bean!  TWO.MORE.DAYS! I can't wait.  Wednesday morning we have our detailed anatomy exam at 19w1d.  Boy or girl? Last chance to cast our vote!  What do we think? Really, neither way.  I guess we both have "boy" tucked way back in the back of our minds just because that is a majority of people's guesses.  But really - we aren't convinced either way (either way, we just want a healthy baby - boy or girl!) We are thrilled 150% either way.  Stay tuned for an announcement later this week!

This is the first week I have felt our little baby and it truly is the most amazing thing I've ever felt.  The little flutters really do take my breath away every time knowing that the Lord is knitting our baby together in my womb every second of every day.  Perfect in His image.  What a gift!  John and I pray everyday that He will continue to grow our baby healthy and that we will remember that this is HIS child, all the days of our lives.  That we may train up our child in the way he should go; to Love the Lord our God with all of his/her mind, heart, soul, strength.  

Cravings? Yes. McDonalds cheeseburger and fries (I have to battle this one on a daily basis).  Pickles of course.  Pound Cake (so yes, I made a chocolate chip pound cake yesterday - such a good mom already.  I mean....baby called for it and i jumped on it!) :) The list goes on......

Stay tuned for a GENDER ANNOUNCEMENT (and NAME!) later this week! 

Thanks for walking with us,
