It's a girl!

We had our 18 week ultrasound today, and were able to find out what we are having! Luke has not had a strong feeling one way or the other up until now, so right before the ultrasound tech came in to do the ultrasound, I said "Now or never, you have to guess what we are having!" He did not even hesitate for a second and said "We are having a girl." Well, he was right, because about 5 minutes later, we heard the ultrasound tech say "You have a baby daughter!" What joy filled my heart to know that we are going to have a daughter of our own! I look forward to the mother-and-daughter bonding times we will have throughout the years together. I hope and pray that she and I can develop that true mother-daughter friendship that will last through joyous times and through trials. Praise the Lord for His knitting her together in my womb back in April. He has known her since before she was conceived, and I cannot wait to meet her!
