IT'S A BOY

On Friday September 11th. Anna and I had the ultrasound doctors appointment. We got to look at our baby through the ultrasound and it was truly amazing. The doctor had her reasons for studying the ultrasound and that was to make sure everything she was looking at looked normal. She wanted to make sure that everything was proportionate as well as look for things like four chambers of the heart. She also saw the bladder and stomach and was able to tell us that the kidneys were functioning. She said that everything looked great! We also told her that if she was able to tell us we would like to know what the gender of our baby was. She was able to tell us, she is sure that we are having a BOY!

Since this is our first child we both had no expectations as far as gender. We just want a healthy child, male or female. To find out now and know that I am having a son sparks up all these fatherly feelings that I had never felt before. Now I know its a son that I can put with all these feelings that I am feeling. Now I can refer to the child as him instead of it or the child. I feel like the bonding process is starting already and we are still months away from the birth. The due date is February 5th and I have from now to then to continue my bonding with my son.

Please continue to pray for Anna and our future son as the pregnancy progresses that they both stay healthy and the baby continue to grow strong. Pray that Anna feels better every day and that this pregnancy be a tremendous blessing for both of us.
