Jesh and I went last Wednesday to get an ultrasound of the baby to make sure all the measurements are good and to find out if it was a boy or girl. We were both expecting a boy for some reason, so to find out it was a GIRL was a little surprise! But a great surprise, and the best part was that she looks healthy and is measuring at the right marks for the September 23rd due date. We already had our names picked out, so it was fun to be able to leave the doctor's office already talking about little Reese Ann. Jesh feels a little like a fish out of water since he grew up with all boys and, so far, all the nephews are boys (he keeps asking me, what do you do with a girl??)...but I know that he will be an awesome dad to little Reese, he's already got so much love for her :o) Part of the reason we wanted to tell everyone her name is that so all of you can be in prayer for this little one. Again and again I feel God reminding me that so much of her is already formed, He holds her little life in His hands, and it's never too soon to be interceding for her little heart.
Well, here are two of the sonograms we got to take home. I can already tell she's a cutie :o) The profile shot shows her head on the right, face up, and her stomach and ribs on the left. The other shot is her "girl" shot. She was sitting on the umbilical cord the whole time, so the tech was trying to get her to move so we could see for sure, but by the end the tech was sure she was a girl because if it was a boy we would've seen something else :o)
Enjoy Reese's first photographs, we definitely have!
