We head back for another sonogram on Wed., May 27th at 9:30 am our time. That will really be a big milestone heartbeat, because 2 of our 4 miscarriages were right around 8 weeks, and we will be 8 1/2 weeks at that appointment. (One of our miscarriages was at 10 weeks and one at 6 weeks.) We continue to cherish your prayers and excitement. We have JOY knowing that God is in complete and utter control of our lives.

Easter's Healthy Heartbeat
Thank you for your prayers for us and for our big appointment this past Thursday. We are thrilled that our little one has a strong and healthy heartbeat of 130 beats/minute. Our wonderful doctor said, "I am excited! Everything looks so great." Easter is 7 mm and about 7 weeks old. His/her due date should be around January 5th. What a great New Year's Gift that will be. Ford and Milly were truly excited to see Easter's first "family photo", as Dr. Dietze called the sonogram. As you can see in the pictures below, Ford and Milly have begun playing with baby dolls together a lot more. Ford even asked if he could have a baby in his tummy:) We keep telling him that he is going to be a great Daddy one day. Milly does love to play with her baby dolls, but she is also quite a mess and not so graceful as a "Mama." :)

Milly bravely sat in the front with Daddy. Ford was "hands up" and Milly was "digging fingernails into Daddy's leg."

Ford and Milly kept saying, "I'm so excited!" I wonder who says that a lot around our house?
