...And I want to know what you order! :o)

I weighed in this morning at 141 lbs. Whew! My starting weight was 138, and I KNOW the baby doesn't weigh three pounds yet, ha ha. Mom said that's the baby's nest. :o) (Aren't moms the greatest?)

I am almost two months along now, and the news is starting to get out. Our parents and families know, and some close friends, and we'll let it filter out from there. Maybe it's time to unveil this blog, too!

The book I'm reading says Baby measures about 1.25 inches from head to bum. S/he has a beating heart already!

Lord, bless this little one with a strong, healthy body. As You form the child with your own loving hands, may each member grow and develop to bring honor and glory to You! Bless that little beating heart, and may this child choose You early in life to be his/her Lord. Amen.

Telling the other children

Today Daniel let the children know that we are expecting a new little one. We were all praying together, heads bowed and everyone quiet and reverent, when he began to ask God to bless my womb and the new baby within. I felt the tension of suppressed excitement among them until he finished the prayer...

"Amen."

Then they all burst out with exclamations of joy! Six pairs of eyes shining, asking questions, wondering if we are to have a boy or a girl.

They already love our new little baby.
