19 week bump
So I'm finally starting to get a bump where I don't look fat...but rather, kinda pregnant. Yeah!
It's a Boy!!!
We're having a baby boy! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!! We're beyond excited over here! I'm trying to upload the ultrasound photos to the blog,
At 11 weeks..kinda looks like he's holding his hands up
At 19 weeks...definitely holding his hands up...he kept moving around and flipping. At one point he was pushing onto the placenta with his hands!
This one is of his spine! How cool is that...you can see every bone in his spine! Amazing what God has made and how intricate we are put together/knitted in the womb!
His name is going to be Roman James McDonald...named after two of our favorite books of the Bible. We particularly like Romans 5:3-5 ...we are to rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us because God poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit... In James 1:2-3 it says Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. This verse reminds us that suffering/trials makes us stronger and builds our faith and character. After the miscarriage back in 2006, this verse along with Philippians's 4:13. (I can do all things through Christ who give me strength) helped Chad and I through our trial and suffering.
It's funny cuz we've had our names (one girl name and one boy name) picked out since we started considering having kids, back in 2006. So, when this pregnancy became viable, we have been excitedly waiting to meet the one God wanted to give us first! And yes, I'm already thinking about the little Diamondback outfits I can dress him in and all the fun he's gonna have playing catch with daddy. He's my little man!

Baby kicks!!!
So, on Sunday (we think) I felt something in my tummy that made me turn to Chad and say, "I think I just felt the baby move!" But I wasn't too sure until it happened more...so now I can say that yes it was the official first time I felt the baby move! Yeah!!! It's so neat and really an amazing feeling!
Then today, Chad was playing a song on his computer called "Never Let Go" by David Crowder Band (such a good song BTW) and I held the speaker up to my tummy. After a minute or less...I felt a kick on the outside! So I grabbed Chad's hand and had him feel for the baby. It was sooooo incredible! The baby moved clearly and we both looked at each other and exclaimed, "Did you feel that!?" Cool stuff! Praise God!
Tomorrow we find out if our baby is a boy or a girl...right now only God knows. Pray the baby cooperates! Until tomorrow....

You gotta laugh!
Last night I had a small bowl of cereal for snack, but I was still a little hungry. So I asked Chad to bring me the box of cereal so I could refill my bowl. Chad picked up the box and then in an instant he threw the box in the air...you know how sometimes you can't resist throwing something and flipping it in the air. Well, Chad likes to do that a lot, but at this instant... life went into slow motion....you see, Chad didn't know that the box was open...cereal went flying everywhere! Here are the pictures of our cereal covered living room. Let's just say we just had to laugh!
