"Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails..."

"That's what little BOYS are made of!!" We are so excited to be expecting a son! We went to the Dr. on Wednesday, and we got to witness the coolest, most amazing thing ever. Our little boy has grown SO much! It was so amazing to see him moving around, wiggling his little arms and legs. Watching his heart beating pretty much took our breath away. The only words Mark could get out was "It's amazing." Those words pretty much summed up the entire appointment. I find myself thinking about this baby boy that the Lord has blessed us with, and I get the greatest joy in my heart that I have ever felt. With tear-filled eyes, Mark and I walked out of our Dr's appointment happy and thankful. :) We just can't wait to meet him! We love him so much already.

"Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory." Douglas MacArthur
