30 weeks Ultrasound

Here is little Isaac William at 30 weeks! We did find out that Isaac still has the same kidney problem that they found before. We are praying that it wont effect him later. We will follow up with this once he is born. He is also head up (breach) so please pray that he will flip upside down before I go into labor!



These 3D Ultrasounds distort the image a little! You can only slightly make out these pictures! It does look like he has Chad's cute lips though! :)

30 weeks Pregnant!!

I can not believe I am 30 weeks now! I can see my tummy moving when Isaac moves, it is so amazing:) I am also really glad that my pacemaker scar has not hurt me at all (I was afraid it would)
I feel like I can just hug him when I hug my tummy. I can not wait to see our baby.
Mom this picture is for you (she asked for a bare tummy picture:)

Baby Shower!

Our First Home

Chad and I are getting all packed up and ready to move out of our first home! We have loved this little duplex apartment so much. It has been just perfect for us. I am going to miss it and wanted to post some pictures ro remember it.

A Boy!!

Wow! We are already so in love with our little baby boy<3 This is a 3D ultrasound. I did not know that they were going to be able to do this. It was really neat! The doctor said that the only concern is that he has some back up in his Kidneys. This is called Fetal Hydronephrosis. It could clear up on its own, if it does not he may have to have surgery in the future. They scheduled me to come in for another ultrasound to check on him in about 12 weeks (September). Hopefully it will be okay. Other than that, he looked normal and healthy as far as we can see.
I am feeling a lot better, which is a huge blessing. I can feel him moving everyday now. It is so amazing! We are amazed at how God has planned Isaac and already knows him by name.
He is such a miracle from God.

Our Baby

May 1st I had my first real Doctor appointment. The best part was when we got to check on the baby's heart beat! It was so amazing and relieving to hear it once more. I was so happy that Chad came with me and was there to hear it to! I have two heart beats!

Chad and I can not wait to see my parents and sisters and little brother next week in Boston! I have not seen my family since I have been pregnant and am so anxious to see them:)

Isaiah 51 "...look to the rock from which you were hewn.."
chap. 53 " Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows...He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed."

Chad and I have been reminded to pray together for our little growing baby. Last night Chad prayed before I fell asleep and I just am so comforted by what a mighty God we have.

Little Miracle

(they estimated 6weeks and 2 days old)
Wow! there really is a baby in my tummy! This morning at 10 am I had my first Ultrasound!!
I got to see our baby moving and fluttering around and his/her heart beating. It was truly amazing. I also got to hear the heart beat! The sound I really thought was my own heart but they told me it was the baby's! I just want to praise God for created such amazing wonders. I have this little baby with me now wherever I go!

Easter Sunday

On Sunday we sang: Crown Him with Many Crowns and a new one that I really rejoiced to sing: The Power of the Cross
Oh to see the dawn
Of the darkest day :
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten then
Nailed to a cross of wood.

Refrain:
This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us.
Took the blame, bore the wrath--
We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh to see the pain
Written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought,
Every evil deed
Crowning your bloodstained brow.

Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death,
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.

Final Refrain:
This, the power of the cross:
Son of God--slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.

A verse shared

"He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Therefore, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
1Corinthians 1:30-31 (from Chad to Julie)

I love it when Chad writes down a verse for me or sends me the reference to look up. This Friday is Good Friday and Sunday is Easter. I am so excited because each year God graciously shows me of His great love for His children in a stronger way. We have nothing in ourselves to boast in, we only have Christ!
