Friday I had a doctor's appointment and over the past 4 weeks, we have been anticipating the gender reveal ultrasound. Family and close friends, as well as Jonathan and I, were anxiously awaiting the news...we had a quick appointment, everything is going well thank the Lord and then my doctor proceeds to tell me, "So your next appointment is the big one where you find out the sex of the baby!!" Jonathan and I locked eyes and mouthed "WHAT?!" We were thinking it was today. It's common for them to be able to tell you the gender at 16 weeks but they typically don't schedule that until your 20 week appointment, as they review the baby's anatomy and size to make sure he/she is healthy and growing. She realized we were really bummed and told us of course we can have an ultrasound today at an extra cost if we want to go ahead and find out. Well you better believe we did! Although I am a big fan of blogs/pinterest/surprises and parties, when it comes to the precious babe, I just want to know the baby is healthy and happy. Rather than planning a gender reveal party we made a million phonecalls with the fantastic news. IT'S A BOY!!!!
My mother-in-law did the needle test about a month ago and it indicated we were having a boy. I felt it was a boy from the moment we got a positive pregnancy test. Jonathan and I are preparing our hearts for a baby but now knowing it's a baby boy makes everything real. We are so thankful for this precious gift and continue to pray that baby Nevins is healthy as he develops each day. I am most excited to know that our baby boy is going to resemble my husband who is such a great example of Christ's love.
"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
Psalm 127:3"
