It's a....

Thanks, everybody, for voting in our gender poll in the last week - wow, over a hundred votes! We had our anatomy scan yesterday, and we are excited to announce that our baby is what Mommy and Daddy were thinking. Unfortunately, it's not what MOST of you thought - he's a little BOY! Yay! So the polls were wrong, but parental intuition was correct. ;) We sure enjoyed seeing our baby boy on the ultrasound, waving his little hands and kicking his little feet. He's a cutie - although I AM a bit biased. He's also stubborn and did not want to move for the tech - she would be pressing hard with her wand, and every time he would punch at it! :) Haha!

But one thing that they saw on the scan yesterday sent me to the hospital overnight and now I am on bedrest for the foreseeable future with weekly visits to the high risk doctor. Not what I was expecting when going into our appointment yesterday! So I would appreciate your prayers that our little guy will stay put for a good long while and be able to be born full term and healthy. Thanks to all of you who have already been praying! God has been gracious to answer our prayers so far.

~Sarah, Eric, and baby boy

A boy how exciting.

Will be praying for you and Eric during this time.Glad that the doctors caught what ever and have you on bed rest along with good doctors.

Hi Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear you have to rest until your baby comes... How precious God has sent you a baby boy! That is so cute, your story about the ultrasound. He sounds very spunky! :) We will pray for you and your husband and baby too. I have been a little behind on your posts, you and your family must be so happy to know a little one is on the way...

[Cathy]

We've been praying, and will continue to beseech God to keep the little guy safe and sound. As a mom of four boys, and six girls, I think your son is acting exactly as a boy should...I use the word "should" loosely, but my sons were far more, shall we say, "energetic," than were my girls...gotta rein them in sometimes, but, despite what the culture is trying to tell us, God really has created boys and girls to be different and to have different roles, and it's a marvelous contrast. Rather than homogenize everyone, embrace the difference. OK, I'm off my soapbox, and my feet are firmly planted on the floor now.

Congrats to the whole fam!

And, not to call attention to my brilliance, but I DID predict a boy, so I'll choose the Amazon gift card. 😉

[Emma]

I just knew it was a boy! I can't wait to meet him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be praying.

[Susannah King]

YAY! I was wrong ( I guessed it he was a girl LOL) but i am so happy for you!!!
Prayers,
Susannah King

Congratulations on having a little boy! Boys are great! From what I hear bed rest is the pits, but the little miracle is so worth it! I'll be praying for you.

[Sherrin Drew]

Congratulations! So sorry to hear you have complications :(. I think its almost always a shock to find that out on an ultrasound. Praying for you.

[Holly]

Just coming back to say that today that you and your baby are on my mind. Praying for you both today. I pray that things are going well. Even though God is sovereign, sometimes it can be so hard. I hope that you are able to rest in Him knowing that He loves your son even more than you do. God bless you both.

[Jodi Deputy]

Just thinking about you all. Praying all is well.
