9 Weeks 3 Days!

We went into the doctor today @ 3:00 for our check up. We were excited because it had been two weeks since the last ultra-sound and we were wanting to see how big the baby had grown over that time. Well, the picture shows it the best.

You can see the baby laying horizontally. The head is on the right and you can see the eye dark eye sockets, the small arms, and small legs. The nurse doing the ultra-sound pushed on Jennifer's stomach to see if we could get the baby to move, and it was funny how the arms and legs just flailed up and down. It looked like a gummy bear...We are excited because this week the heart is dividing up into four chambers and the teeth are forming. The baby has earlobes, a nose, a mouth, and sex organs, however everything is to small to see on the ultra-sound.

We go back in another week and after that we should start going to Jennifer's OB/GYN and she is awesome, Jennifer has been going to her for eleven years and she is a believer as well.

Continue to pray for Jennifer to remain healthy and for the growth of the baby. We know the Lord is in control and we are trusting His will.

We love you,

Stephen & Jennifer
