To the Garcia house near you, a brand new addition to the family. That's right Jill and I are expecting our first little one come January 11th, 2009(current due date), and we can't be more excited, overwhelmed, and blessed! As of today we are 9 weeks along, and we have heard the baby's heart beat (a fast little 174 BPM) and had the first sonogram take which you can see above.
We actually found out almost a month ago when we took the home pregnancy test. It was weird because the night before we were going to take the test I had this really weird feeling like it was going to be positive. Don't ask me why I thought this, but I did. So I told Jill that when she took the test to let me see the results first. So morning came, Jill took the test and I waited a few minutes then looked at the results. I walked out of the bathroom and said "Sorry honey..." which was followed by Jill's very disappointing sigh, "...looks like we are going to have to find a new place for your office since we are going to need it for the nursery!" This was followed by Jill jumping out of bed as if she were 7 and it was Christmas morning.
We thank the Lord for answering our prayers and continue to rest in him through the rest of the pregnancy and beyond. It is funny to look back at just the last few months. First we finish paying off our debts then we are now expecting a little miracle.
We ask for your continued prayers for Jill (she has been feeling nauseous pretty much all day for last few weeks), for the baby's health, and the overall pregnancy. We thank the Lord in advance for how he will show himself through this little one. We will keep you posted on any changes and when we find out the sex of the baby, which we will be doing.
Love you all!
