The Baby’s Name

February 12, 2009

I’m finally feeling my little one moving around.

I’ve only had one other baby that took so long. That baby was Matthew.

Just like this little one, he had an anterior placenta.

This cushioned pretty much every l move he made and I first felt him move around 27 weeks.

This one hasn’t waited quite so long. I’m so glad. It’s always comforting to feel their little movements and makes it all the more exciting to get to greet them in the coming months.

I’m happy to say that Paul and I have settled on a name.

It’s not been without “incidence”, but at least we’ve reached an agreement. *smile*

As I’ve prayed, I’ve really felt like she was a “Meredith”. We’ve never considered the name for our other girls, but it sure seems to fit.

I love the thought of calling her “Meri” for short and it especially reminds me of the following verse:

Proverbs 17:22a
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine…”

…and then, there is that my Grandmother’s name is Mary. It is just “right”

Well, I should run. It’s late, and I’m still trying to get past this nasty flu bug.

Thank you all for your continued prayers for me and for our family. It never ceases to amaze me to find emails from some of you in the mornings to greet me, or late at night when I’m ready to turn in.

You are a very special group of ladies and I’m thankful for each and every one of you! :)

With my love,
Tracy

Baby #10 Sonar

February 2, 2009

We went for our ultrasound this morning…I’ve thought this day would NEVER arrive.

For months, I’ve floundered between boy and girl. I just told Courtney this last week that I really thought baby was a girl and then I woke up today terribly sick and told her this baby must be a boy. *smile*

As it turns out, our new precious blessing is another sweet little girl.

Everyone except the five and six year old brothers are thrilled….they always want another little brother.

So now, we’ll have 10 children- as Paul tells folks, 6 strapping sons, and FOUR virtuous daughters.

We’re thanking God for this new tiny life growing inside.

With my love,

We’re expecting!!!
