Day 345


Everyday I hear from Rebekah is a good day. Not only did I hear from her today, but I got to see Baby Boy, again!!! This is just about the cutest ultrasound picture I have ever seen. Our little pumpkin is gaining weight (weighed in at 3 pounds!) and it shows in his sweet little cheeks. My heart did flip-flops this afternoon when I saw him...he takes my breath away. I, of course, can't wait to meet him and have thought about it for weeks...but, when I saw him, today, I felt something new. I can't explain it apart from this deep longing to drink in his sweetness and impart everything I hold in my heart...

He sure is putting Rebekah through the ringer, though. Her blood pressure continues to heighten and the doctor is making her come in every week for bio-physicals. Baby Boy's Renal Pelvic Dilatation has cured itself on one kidney, but the issue is still present in the other.

Rebekah and I are both trusting God for our son.

My favorite part of the ultrasound is Baby Boy's smile. Can you see it? He's so happy...there's no where else he'd rather be than right there with his mama. I love it.

God is so good.


P.S. We get to love on Rebekah, in person, for the first time, in three days!!!!

  3. That is awesome that you and Rebekah are meeting. I loved our meeting with S and the time we spent with her and her family in the hospital is so precious to us. It is great to see you and Rebekah building this relationship, it is going to be such a blessing in the future.

    I carried the ultrasounds of Shelby with me all the time. It is amazing how much she looks like the ultrasounds even now.

  6. You got to see Rebekah in person?! Do tell!!!

    He is absolutely adorable. That is seriously the cutest ultrasound picture I've seen at his gestational age!!! I don't think I've ever seen a 2D U/S picture where you could see their cheeks! They usually just look like little skeletal faces.

  10. So neat to see another ultra sound!
    I'll bet you can hardly wait to see Rebekah!! Have you packed yet?
    Are you driving or flying?

    That's such a bummer that Rebekah is having such a rough time. Unfortunatly, that's often part of pregnancy. Two expectant moms from my church- I don't know them personally, but I've read this on a prayer sheet- are currently on bed rest. Please tell Rebekah that I'm praying for her and Baby Boy.

    Have a good night and a great trip to Rebekah's. I can hardly wait to hear about it!

    Hugs.

    our agency sent us an u/s picture of milo when he was about 4 or 5 months. i just started sobbing when I opened it thinking that this little tiny being was going to be our son! i thought he was beautiful also! :)
    much love going out to you and all involved! :)

  28. I have just stumbled upon your blog and Im hooked. We have just started this journey. Before I get too entrenched in reading everything, I was wondering if you could suggest some quotes or versus from the bible that would be appropriate to use in our profile book. I have only read the 3 posts listed to the side and each one had the PERFECT verse in it- I was hoping you would know of one that would be helpful for a birthmom to feel peace about her decision, whether to choose us or not, I just want her to have peace.
    Thanks, and congratulations!
