The New Baby will be....

The new baby will be... A Surprise! The tech. said that it was a girl or a boy depending on the angle she looked. So... Come the end of April we will know. This baby is healthy/"normal" !
The first picture is a profile with the baby's head on the left side. Notice his/her mouth is slightly open. Baby's arm is by its side.









In this picture baby is resting his/her arm across his/her body. Its right leg is pulled so the knee is visible.

Baby's on the way

I do not have a face to see, or put inside a frame.

I do not have soft cheeks to kiss, I don't yet have a name.

You can't hold my tiny hands, nor whisper in my ears. Its still too soon to sing a song or cuddle me so near.

But all will change come April 22 when they say I'm due. I am your new son or daughter I can not wait to meet you!

All I ask between now and then, is your patience while I grow. I promise I'll be worth the wait, because of the love we'll know.

So as you are waiting patiently, please pray a lot of prayers for me. I can not wait to be a part of this wonderful family!
