Only 5 days to go...

...until we find out the sex of Baby VanZoeren! We are definitely excited to find out if we are having a boy or girl but I am really looking forward to the appointment for another reason. I can't wait to see just how much our baby has grown since our last ultrasound (March 31) and to be reassured that our baby is healthy. I have spent a lot of time over the last few weeks thinking about how powerful Satan is and how he uses our weaknesses to try and bring us down. My weakness, especially right now, is worry. I am so afraid that something is going to go wrong with our precious baby, that I often forget that this baby is an answered prayer from our Father. I must remember that everything is out of my control (thank goodness!) and in HIS hands. My focus needs to be on Him and everything he has done for us and has promised to do for us. Thanks to all my friends who have been reminding me of this daily. Please keep us in your prayers over the next few days, and especially me that I will have the strength to let go and give everything to God.

As for my lack of posts...I do apologize! We don't have a computer or internet access at home right now so I have to find time at work or on the weekends to post. I promise that I will begin posting more often once we know the sex and I also promise to post some belly pictures! My belly still hasn't grown that much (I know, I know--I'm pretty lucky. Although as a first-time pregnant woman, I wish I was showing a little bit more!) but since I'm almost halfway through this pregancy I guess it's about time to start taking pictures!
