Baby Sister!

Well, it's official...baby number 2 is another precious girl! We are SO excited! This week had a few little bumps, though...our ultrasound Tuesday showed a possibility of placenta previa, and the tech also seemed to think I had low amniotic fluid. But these last two days we have definitely seen God's divine intervention...
Divine intervention #1: Our OB, Dr. Singleton, is a "straight shooter" when it comes to info., but is also wonderfully calm. He did not feel that the pictures necessarily told the whole story, but wanted to double-check anyway. His reaction totally helped our peace of mind.
#2: We had to set up an appointment for an ultrasound with a specialist...something that usually takes weeks to get on the calendar. However, they "happened" to have an opening at 10 this morning!
#3: Casey was supposed to fly out early this morning for business...he called the airline and was able to get his flight changed within minutes so he could make it to my appointment!
#4: At our appointment this morning, the doctor spent a lot of time with us and checked on every aspect of our tiny girl...and EVERYTHING checked out perfectly! The placenta is a little low, but not unusually, and will continue to move up as the baby and I grow. In addition to that reassurance, we had the opportunity to see so much more of our little one than we would have, and he explained everything we were looking at - her little heart chambers, stomach, bones, spine, brain, tiny fingers and toes - all the parts our Lord has knit together. We are so thankful for what God chose to do in our lives this week, and how He chose to show Himself! And here are a couple pics of our newest addition...
