For Easter Sunday this year, at Elevate Church, we wanted to have something different and fun in our foyer. We decided on baby chicks. On Friday, before Easter, we got eight baby chicks. They spent the next two days at our house. We took care of them, kept them warm under their light, fed and watered them and had a lot of fun watching and listening to them "peep, peep, peep". Bennett especially loved them. He called them "birds". He named one of them "Soccer Game". Figures. I am glad we don't always have baby chicks in our living room, it smelled like a barn, but it was fun for a few days.
The baby and I had our first doctors appointment on Friday. We love our new midwife. She is such a sweetheart. Her name is Angel and she spent over an hour with us, asking questions, getting to know us and answering any of our questions. We did get an official due date and it's December 15, 2009. It's all a little deja vous since Bennett was due on December 19 and was born on the 21st. You know what they day about Spring time. :).
I am 5 1/2 weeks along and the baby has a beating heart now. Amazing, isn't it? To think that God is forming and creating our little love right now ever as I type.
We go back to see Angel in 4 weeks and we should get to hear the heartbeat.
I'm planning a trip to Chicago to get some great maternity jeans. Already unbuttoning the button on my regular jeans. Guess by pregnancy #3 (our first baby, Karis miscarried at 12 weeks), you get to put away the normal clothes sooner. :) Oh well. It only last 9 months.
We are so excited to share our big news. Bennett is going to be a big brother. Our new little one will be here sometime the middle of December. We appreciate your prayers.We will post regular updates on our blog about our baby. Benny called all his grandparents and aunties and uncles to share the big news. In his words, "Mommy a baby...two babies". The number of babies remains to be seen... We are super excited and are thanking God for this blessing in our life.
