baby #3

it takes me a couple weeks to process the reality of being pregnant. although when my belly popped out immediately there was really no time for denial. then today a stranger asked when i was due - it confirmed that my belly is really out there! i'll be 9 weeks tomorrow. we are thrilled to be adding another little one to our family. malachi thinks we should have a boy and a "gril" - but we are in fact having only one baby as confirmed by the ultrasound.
so i feel great - a little tired some days but i am very thankful that i don't get sick.
below is an ultrasound pic of our little bean of a baby. we saw the heart beating last week - which i must say is absolutely amazing. we are expecting this baby at the end of july. so here is the first pic - which is oh so easy to figure out?! it's the bean shaped mass - this is the 3-D view (aka: baby)
we thank God for this gift and thank you all for your prayers as our "bean" is knit together

Wow, I've never seen a 3-D pic of a baby that small. I think I saw his/her little arm. Thanks for the post. Shaun and I are sooo excited for you guys!

3-D bean babies are pretty amazing. Who woulda thunk it?! Keep those Baby #3 posts up and I will share my leaves. :)

Oh my goodness! Congrats!!! That is so exciting! Yea!!!
I am due with baby number 2 at the beginning of July! I am glad you said that about your belly popping out, because I feel like my belly popped the minute I said, "I'm pregnant!"
