Blog Address Change

Now that we know we have a boy on the way, we decided to change the blog address to us Silas' name:

All future posts will be there.  Thank you for reading and for praying.

-John & Tina.

It's a BOY!

I just got home from our 18-week scan. The baby is definitely a boy!

Jonathon will post his name, photo and video today or tomorrow.

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR US AND OUR LITTLE MAN!

Love,
Tina

Tina at 16 Weeks / 4 Months

Tina at 16 weeks. Four months down.... five to go!

At this rate, I may need to switch my camera to landscape. :)

Quick Ultrasound Snapshot

Tina was at the doctor's office and he took an ultrasound photo.

Not much to see yet.... round skull, straight back... I think that's good!

Church Sign

Tina and I saw this sign and had to stop for a photo...

Baby Names

One issue that always comes up during this time is the prospect of names. Being a true geek, I must do my research on such things as I did with Eden, so here are some stats on a few names:

John is losing popularity fast!

Tina had her heyday in the 60s.

Eden's name is growing in popularity FAST!

Selah too is becoming popular.

If we have a girl, I'm trying to get Tina to name her Vashti. Unfortunately, this name doesn't even make the charts. (Jonathon, it's never made ANY chart because it's a horrible name!)

We've somewhat settled on the name Silas if we have a boy. The name was once popular but took a dive in the 50s and 60s before gaining momentum again.

We are completely undecided on a girl's name.

12 Weeks / 3 Months

Tina is starting to look a bit "curvy" at 12 weeks!!!

How beautiful.

First Ultrasound

The first ultrasound is all about the heartbeat. We pray for a strong heart and one that will always seek God! Well, the first part has already been answered. Our little one has a strong, normal heart at 167 beats/minute.

Not much to see yet... This is the little grape on his/her side.

Vital stats... Confirmation of 9 weeks and 4 days.

Nice strong heart. THANK YOU LORD!

A Third Miracle

God has blessed us again with a miracle. Right after we had given up all hope of having another child, Tina became pregnant for the third time!

We are both nervous and excited. We know we shouldn't be because God is in control, but with the heartaches of the past, it is difficult not to worry.
