Baby Melon!

I can't believe our child is growing so fast! This week, our 20th week of pregnancy, our child is now approximately 10 oz. and 6 1/2 inches from crown to rump. If the baby is a boy, his testicles are beginning their descent; if the baby's a girl, her uterus is now fully formed with a million eggs waiting to make her own family one day.
This week is extremely exciting in our household as this Friday is our first ultrasound and we should find out the gender! I've had quite a few people tell me they think I'm having a girl, but the heartbeat is reading a boy as well as where I've gained my weight. All my weight gain is in my belly, which usually is a sign of a boy. I think JR and I both are to the point where we're excited to just see and hear that the baby is healthy and don't really care what gender God chooses. Our only concerns are that the baby is healthy and will love the Lord! May God use us to teach our child His ways early on!


And the 20-week pose...

  1. Praise the Lord!!!! I am so happy that you see what is truly important and that is wanting the baby to healthy. That is truly more important than knowing what it is, besides it is to late to worry about that anyway, it ha already been decided. keep me posted!!

  2. Baby girls are drama queens!! Audrey was very stubborn. We didn't know she was a girl until about a month and a half until she was born!! She's been stubborn ever since. Good luck! Also, don't go by the heartbeat or where you gain your weight because if I went by that I'd have 2 boys right now. They're all myths. ~Katrina
