Mak Update

Just a quick update on our "MAK" {mini amazing King, if you didn't get the memo ;)}.
We went in for our 20 week appointment today.

Katy Stats:0 lbs gained (helps when you haven't lost all the weight from the previous baby...picture on Wednesday)

BP: 122/65 (I think, I really don't pay attention that well)
Measurements: Just as I should be
Dr's Remarks: "Well, ya look great!" We love Dr. Dawson!

Mak Stats:Heartbeat: 148 - not really slow or fast (but much slower than at my 16 week)
Measurements: Right on schedule
Heart, brain, stomach, spine all look great!

We have decided to keep the gender a surprise. I was prepared with an envelope to provide to Sarah, our photographer, but...Mak wants to be a surprise too - wouldn't open his/her legs for anything! We had our eyes closed while Kristen was looking around, but to no avail Mak wouldn't budge! :)

A few sneak peaks... 

 Isn't that the cutest foot you've ever seen? Five little toes ready to pinch!

And that profile! Just adorable!! 

We will do a 4D peek at week 28 and bring Radley and Emersyn so they can get a sneak peak at their sibling... maybe Mak won't be so shy then! 

It's funny, at this stage with Radley we were still on the "first time parent" high. We had no reason to be concerned or ask questions about development or growth because what could go wrong. This time we were both examining the heart chambers, brain measurements, stomach, spine, etc... Parenthood has easily been the most rewarding, thrilling, fulfilling, miraculous, amazing gift that could be bestowed upon us. It is also easily the scariest thing we have done ... to love some one as much as you love your child is inconceivable (Princess Bride, anyone?) until you live it. Breath it. Experience it. 

What a remarkable God we serve!

That's all for now... we appreciate your continued prayers for a happy, healthy pregnancy!
