Its a girl!

Thank you God for another Baby Girl Beck! We can't wait to meet our new female addition to the family. This past week, we realized what a true blessing it is to have a healthy baby. I think we may have taken it for granted with Yena because everything was always stellar with the checkups, but the miracle of life is exactly that...a miracle!

I went in for my 20 week check up so I could find out the sex and also do the halfway there Ultrasound on Thursday. I truly do love my new OB. She is outstanding! Soothing, great bedside manner and also is so hands on as a doctor. She did my scan herself vs. my old doctor's office had their tech do it. I just love her. Anyways...as she began to scan, she started with the heart and noticed a "bright spot" on the heart. She told me that this is a "soft marker" for Downs Syndrome. Obviously, the only word I picked up on was Downs and the rest went flying out the window. I don't think I enjoyed the rest of the UL She was really reassuring and told me lotsa positive things, but the worry wart in me started freaking out. I opted out of the 10 week genetic blood test because I thought I didn't have any real need for it and would take it when I had the need...well the need presented itself to me, so the results will be back in 2 weeks. Until then, I'm trying to stay relaxed and loose, not thinking about it too much. I figure it's really in God's hands what kinda baby he gives us. Any child he gives us is a gift and I don't want to start thinking the worst at this point when there's no need.

So there it is...we are super excited to have found out that the baby is a girl. We're going to remain prayerful and pray for a healthy baby girl. :) We are still very excited that Yena will have a little sister to boss around and not share her toys with. lol.

I just want to document through this blog to always remember to be thankful for all the blessings we have and to trust in Him to be the author of our lives. We are not yet home, but He will guide and take care of us until we do return to His side.
