Well, the title of this entry says it all! Caleb is going to be a big brother to a new little brother. This whole finding out deal came about a bit early, but we'll take it. I was having a concern with a bodily function going on, so an ultrasound was ordered to see if anything was wrong. After waiting what seemed an eternity (well, we did have to wait over an hour after our supposed 'appointment'!) we saw our little babe flipping around. The ultrasound tech wasn't supposed to look at anything besides the fluid surrounding the baby, but she gave us a good look at the arms, fingers, head, legs, heart, and brain. She told us she couldn't say 100% that it's a boy, but she was pretty sure. Well, I'm pretty sure too after looking at the pictures we got printed out. I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed it's not a girl, but I'm just happy for a healthy baby. It's so magical to get a glimpse inside my belly and see our new little one. He even waved at us!
Our happy news was saddened by a phone call we got tonight. Our good friends lost their baby today. She was only 2 weeks behind me as far as her due date. This really hit home for me, as we went in to the Dr. with our own concerns today, and came out with joyful news. I can only imagine the pain and sorrow they are experiencing right now. As I put Caleb to bed tonight, I held on a little tighter, and thanked the Lord above for blessing me with two healthy babies.
