Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”  Psalm 139:13-14

20-week-ultrasound2

Yesterday, I had my 20-week ultrasound.  I love watching the little one move around on the screen!  Of course, as the tech is focusing in on certain parts, like the femur, or the fingers, or the heart, sometimes I wonder how in the world they have any idea of what they’re looking at.  But even more than that, I wonder how in the world anyone can look at the intricacies of that tiny human form and not recognize that there HAS to be a designer.  There is no way that all of those interworking systems could be the result of random chance.

Oh, for those who are wondering:  No, I did not find out whether the baby is boy or a girl.  We have been surprised by each of the other babies, and we didn’t have a good enough reason to not be surprised this time!  ;-)  What is more important is that the baby looks healthy and is growing at an appropriate rate.  The baby weighs about 13 ounces and and is somewhere around 10 inches long.  The baby will be here in our arms before we know it!

    That’s fantastic! I just had my 20 week appt about 2 weeks ago. I didn’t want to find out with this baby, but hubby was dying to know! BUT now that we’ll have a boy AND a girl, if we have another I’m not going to find out.

  4. Hi ! I found you via Entrecard – and wanted to stop by your blog to say hello! :) Congrats on the baby! I’m at 24 weeks – so not much further!! We DID find out – we’re having a boy.. we also have a 2 year old girl. Just love being a mom (especially when she goes to sleep when she should so I can catch up on blogs! haha)
