It's a.....

Hello friends and family!

Yesterday we had an ultrasound! Stephen and I both
wanted to find out, if possible, whether we were
having a son or daughter. Thankfully, the lady doing
the ultrasound was able to tell, or we would have been
rather disappointed. So, the debate between whether
my Dad's granddaughter was on her way or my husband's
son was on his way was settled. And the result
was........ my Dad was indeed correct and his
granddaughter is developing and appears to be on
schedule for a May 7th due date. The lady running the
ultrasound (do you call them technicians?) did an
extensive check-up, looking at her brain, stomach,
kidneys, heart, etc., etc., etc. It sounded like,
from what she could tell, all approximately 9 oz of
baby looks good at this point. Little Miss Madgwick
even did some moving during the procedure and even
opened her little mouth. :-). We were sent home with
some pictures. One of my favorites is one of the ones
of her little feet! Cute! Come by some time and we
just might be persuaded to show off some of them! The
technician was very nice and talked to us a lot as she
worked, telling us what she was looking at and how
things looked to her. She explained certain things,
like she told us she could tell that there was liquid
in the baby's stomach, which means she is swallowing!
Daddy Stephen enjoyed it...maybe he'll write about the event on the blog sometime in the near future! :-)
And for the record, he is NOT disappointed that he is
having a daughter! :-)

You all have a very good day and please keep us in
your prayers as we prepare for little Miss Madgwick' s
arrival into the outside world!
