So I thought it’d be fun to take you each with me for our ultrasound today. Then I realized I almost passed out when it was just 5 of us in the small room. So it may be safer to just talk about it on here, and give you a window into my thoughts.

It’s the morning of the day we find out the sex of our baby. In many ways, as I think about it….our baby is born today. Now I realize I won’t be able hold the baby, see the baby, or have to change it’s diaper. But today, the identity of our baby takes a giant leap forward.

I know u’ll all be really excited to find out what it is….and who it is. Know that I probably won’t post it on here for a few days….because this would be a stinky way for my family to find out. We’ll make sure our family all knows before we announce it to the world. If you wanna know really bad….just call us….and promise not to tell anyone else yet. 🙂 Thanks.

So yeah….I’m really looking forward to it. Part of me feels like I should do some fatherly/husbandy “thing”….but I have no idea what I could do. Have candy cigars ready to go? Hire a singing telegram? Flowers are always an easy choice….maybe I’ll try that route. So yeah, at 4:30 this evening we will be finding out just who will be joining us on the Anderson’s life journey. Shivers anyone?

A prayer:
Father, thank you already for the joys these past few months have brought us. Although only my wife is pregnant, we are both pregnant with anticipation for what lies ahead. There are a LOT of unknowns. And that’s okay. We know that whatever lies ahead, there will be plenty of opportunities to serve you, and for you to be praised. Be with us and our child today, as we take a big step forward in knowing this child you’ve given us. Please continue to prepare our hearts and our home for this addition…and give us greater understanding of your love for your children. Thank you for our friends and family who may read this and share in our excitement. We are blessed. Oh, and help me (Chadwick) to not pass out at the ultrasound. Amen

Okay everyone….that’s it for now! I will post after we tell everyone in the family!!! Have a great week, and wait patiently!!!! 🙂 GOD BLESS!!!!!
