Well, I had my 19 week ultra sound, it is amazing to see life growing inside of me. A child that the Lord has given me to cherish and to love. The ultrasound took about an hour as they took pictures and measured every aspect of our baby. The pictures are of his head and leg. It's incredible to think that the Lord watches each baby develop in the womb as He knits each life together. I just thought of Psalm 139 that, He knows my child in my womb. How great the care Jesus takes in life. I had tears of seeing this life growing inside of me and how much the Lord loves him. And yes, we are having a baby BOY!!!!

Night Light

Last week the weather reached record highs of 107 degrees, which when you live on the third floor of an apartment without air conditioning and are 16 weeks pregnant is well....craptastic! My in-laws had a small box air conditioner that they let us borrow( THANK YOU) but we-I was afraid to put it in our bedroom for fear that it might fall and kill a kid or some terrible thing like that. So instead we put it in our dining room window that has a balcony outside of it. The only problem was we have vaulted ceiling in our living room, dining room and kitchen so make the poor little air conditioner a little (a lot) less effective. Yet still 80 degress in the apartment is much better than 91 degrees. We moved our mattress into the living room and all the fans too and had ourself a little camp out. The only problem is with all the furniture moved trying to get to the bathroom is a bit more challenging. So one night I managed to make it to the bathroom for my nightly gotta pee again event and lo and behold ooops i stepped in the cat food dish knocked the water bowl over and managed to fall into the corner of the wall of course hitting my belly first. I was okay just a little scared and also scared the crap out of my poor husband who was fast asleep. So the moral of the story, trying to pretend like your blind and find your way to the toilet seat is not a good idea when you're pregnant!
