Today's Ultrasound

After today's ultrasound, I have not been able to stop smiling. Our baby appears to be perfectly healthy, praise God!

One surprise is that the due date has been moved from September 6th to August 28th. I don't mind at all! :)

And the big announcement is...we are having a BOY!

Can't wait to start shopping for blue things!

Florida Trip



Last week we vacationed in Orlando, Florida with Ben's parents and siblings. We had a great time with them in the sunshine and 80-degree weather! Highlights of the trip were attending a Good Friday service at the church of well-known Bible teacher R.C. Sproul, seeing the animals at the Central Florida Zoo, biking 9 miles on the gorgeous West Orange Trail, swimming at Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon, and shopping at various places from an eclectic flea market to a fancy outlet mall. When we had down time, I enjoyed chatting with my mother-in-law and starting to read a new novel. Ben and I returned home on Friday feeling refreshed and ready to welcome springtime in Iowa!
