We had our baby doc appointment yesterday. It was at 2:30 and we arrived an hour early this time. Go us! :) But it was actually due to the weather. I have become a crazy person over bad weather. A tornado hit the lake almost a year ago and since then, the reality that it can actually happen where I am scares the heck out of me (and I am pretty sure I stress my poor hubs out with the craziness). So anyway, we left an hour early to beat the storm. I did not want to be driving in it. Our sweet doctor's office let us in early and we were in and out of there before our orignal appointment time!
I was really, really hoping we would get to see the baby again this time. No sonogram. BUT we did get to hear that sweet, sweet heartbeat. When the nurse found it, I looked at Blake and said, "Do you still believe that is a baby boy heartbeat, Blake?"
He said, "Of course."
The nurse looked at me with a funny grin and said, " I would never, ever guess the sex of a baby BUT lots and lots of times, when the heart rate is in the high 160s-170s...IT'S A GIRL! But it can go either way. I have seen it go either way."
Of course, we know it could go either way...I mean there IS a 50-50 chance and my baby boy may just have a really high heart rate :)
When the nurse left the room, Blake had this little grin on his face. I asked him if he was going to be upset if this was, indeed, a girl. He said he would be thrilled either way. I know he would. He has just been saying from day one that he really thinks it is a boy and I know he wants a little hunting partner :) Girls can do anything boys can do! She can hunt, fish, play sports...all of that good stuff he is dreaming about doing with his child. Like I said in a previous post, if we do have a baby girl on our hands, she will have him wrapped around her sweet finger. I just know it and I can't wait.
I was also really, really hoping the doctor would tell me that he would determine the sex of the baby at our next visit. I will be 17 weeks at that visit. Nope. We will not find out until the first of April. I should be around 21 weeks or so. That's okay. We are enjoying every precious moment of this journey. I am so excited and so very blessed.
To our baby B: Boy or girl... I can't wait to see your face.

The grace of God exalts a man without inflating him, and it humbles a man without debasing him. The person who strives for excellence says, "I am what I am by the grace of God."

Regardless of the road you travel--Lonely Lane, Brokenhearted Boulevard, or Poverty Parkway--there's no place you can go that God can't follow. No heartbreak, no betrayal, no rejection, no failure, no disappointment, and no evil can stop Him from coming near. God will always come for His people. He cannot fail you. He... will never quit you, never forget you, and never leave you.
It may be unfulfilled. It may be unrestored. But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord, just watch and see, it will not be unreedemed.
