Today marks the anniversary of Rowe vs. Wade.
To date over 50 million babies have lost their life to
abortion.
Okay so I have to admit that I thought that I would be posting more on this blog, but honestly I have been feeling pretty sick this week. Thankfully I have not been as sick as I was with Kendall but more sick than with Addison. I initially thought I was having a boy, but now I am not so sure...David might be largely outnumbered. I think I will still predict a boy because that has been my prediction with the last two pregnancies and I am thinking that if I stick with that answer one of these pregnancies I might be right. We will of course be thrilled with whatever gender the Lord blesses us with, and although I am sick everyday from about noon until bedtime, I am thankful that so far everything is on track and we have a healthy 9 week old baby.
Last Wednesday we had our first ultrasound and I am always amazed that the tiny little spot that they show you on the screen is actually going to grow into a newborn baby. Right now our baby is a mere half inch but by the end of it all he/she will be about 20 inches long. I always look at that little blip on the screen and think...this doesn't really look like a baby, but I can see an actual heart beating and working. Even at just 9 weeks our baby has arms and legs and an actual 4 chamber heart, which is amazing and completely a miracle. Our God is the ultimate Creator to take some cells and create a baby for us to love. It is so hard for me to understand how anyone can see that and think that those are not living babies full of potential and life. I am rejoicing in the life of our new baby and praying that even now this baby will live a life that has a purpose and brings glory to God. We are blessed beyond measure already for this little but very real life! And tonight my heart is with the many women that are struggling with the decision to end or give life to their own unborn babies, and my prayer is that they will see their baby as one full of potential and life as well.

I am so happy for your family!
Unfortunately, a couple of my family members have chosen to take the route of ending their pregnancies. I have prayed for them and hope that they have asked GOD for His forgiveness. I know one of them has. I would love to one day have a child but GOD has blessed me with so many wonderful children from my friends and family. If HE wants me to have one, it will happen. You and David are such wondeful people and parents! I love you all so much.
