A Wave from the Womb

Little brother or sister waved at Zanna during the Ultrasound!
Zanna thought it was amazing.
So did I :)
This baby is truly "fearfully and wonderfully made". I remember thinking those words when I first saw Zanna in my womb, and it was immediately what I thought when I saw this baby. Having Zanna there with us made the whole experience even more special. She loved seeing the baby's picture and I think it made the whole pregnancy and baby in my womb more real for her. I am so excited.... We're halfway there and I can't believe pretty soon I'll get to talk about "our children" instead of "our child" :) Wow.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We enjoyed a busy, full, and fun holiday! We had family in from Belgium, New York, Ector, Tulsa, and Dallas. Zanna loved having everyone here on Christmas Day, and it was great to have quality time with family. Zanna got to make chocolate pretzels with Grammy, a puzzle of the nativity scene was pored over by Aunt Denise and Aunt Mule, a billion games of "Go Fish" were tolerated by Aunt Lauren and Uncle Ryan, and tricycle rides and masterpieces on the easel were enjoyed! Christmas morning was a Sunday this year, so we got up early to open gifts and stockings and play... and then we all headed to church, some of us in our PJs and slippers, and I preached on Christmas Day (which, while stress-inducing, was also really fun and exciting!). Thanks to all our family for coming and for making Christmas so special!
