We've got 10 finger! We've got 10 toes! We've got 4 chambers in the heart!! We have a lot to be thankful for with this little one! Throughout this pregnancy I have been continually reminded of God's grace! I have been reminded that this is not something I deserve... something I have worked for.. but a gift from my Father in heaven! Oh Lord, that you may have grace upon Andy & I as we raise this little one in the years to come! If SHE takes ONE thing from all that we teach HER.. may it be her need for you... her need for a Savior from HER wicked heart! As precious as this little one is.. and as perfect as SHE may seem... she is sinful and needs to be saved. So may she discover the love of Christ through the cross!
If you did not catch it in the last paragraph... we found out at our ultrasound that the Lord has seen it fit for us to have a little girl!!! YAY! Bring on the mini me! To be completely honest, Andy and I were(for some reason) surprised when we discovered it was a girl! We had so many people saying they were convinced that we were having a boy. I am trying to think if there was anyone that said they think it was a girl... if there was anyone.. it was only a few people! Andy is working though... "Oh man... another female in the house! Am I going to be able to handle this!?" Well, I guess the Lord has something he wants to do with this little girl and I know we will learn A LOT!
How is the pregnancy going? Well, sickness and headaches are over for the meantime! Backaches are still happening. I already need a pillow behind my back whenever and wherever I sit! ALREADY! Work is going fairly well! I have my days but for the most part I am surviving. At this point, I am praying about when the Lord wants me to leave my job; aiming for end of July or August. Baby Hentges is doing very well! I think I am feeling her flip around a lot more now and not so much just tapping. Her heart rate was 149 at the ultrasound and she weighs about 12 oz at this point! (it is a few ounces more than what they say in the book at this time... so we will see if she will be a biggin!) She is pretty quiet actually... At the ultrasound her back was facing out so I am thinking that is why I am not feeling her very much... it made it very difficult to get a decent profile shot of her! We were there for at least an hour! I had to poke and prod her! She had her legs crossed and both her hands up by her face so she was being pretty shy at first! Later on she uncrossed and opened her hand for us for a quite a while! Thank you sweet little baby girl! I look so forward to feeling her more and one day smothering her is hugs and kisses!

Pray that our little girl continues to grow and develop to be a healthy baby and that she would one day know Jesus Christ as Lord! Also, pray for Andy and I as the Lord prepares us for the new season headed our way in 5 short months!
May you all have a blessed week!! Thank you for all your love and your prayers!
