Take a look:
This week I am officially what the biologists call a fetus (but Mommy and Daddy know I have been a baby from day one--Jeremiah 1:5!). My heart is loud enough now that at Mommy's next Dr. appointment she and Daddy will probably be able to hear my heart beat! Mommy tears up just thinking about it because she thinks God is *SO* amazing to bless them with my life ("Olive Juice" Mommy and Daddy!). My arms and legs are still moving around (but Mommy still can't feel it yet) and my facial features are getting more pronounced everyday!
Do you think I will have Mommy's nose and Daddy's big brown eyes?
Or do you think I will have Mommy's pretty green eyes and Daddy's blonde hair?
We won't know until I make my big debut into the world, but I know Mommy and Daddy are super excited to see me no matter what!!
People are taking bets on whether I am going to be a Little Mr or a Miss Priss and all I will tell you is that you have to wait! Tee-hee. My hoo-haa or lack-there-of (yee-haw for future reference) won't be visible for a couple more months. Mommy and Daddy did decide, though, that they will find out so they can get ready for lots of BLUES & GREENS or TURQUOISE & PURPLE -- no pink please, pink is a little overrated for little girls :-D
**Make your bets in the comments, it will be fun to see who is right and who might get it right next time!!
If I am a girl, Mommy and Daddy will have to agree on a name because they can't seem to agree on one, yet! But, because they have turned to Jeremiah 29:11 for almost every circumstance since they met, if I am a boy my name will be Matthew Jeremiah (Jeremy) Turnell.
See you next week!!!
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Amber Turnell (Mommy): I think you are going to be a precious little boy.
ReplyDeleteMatt Turnell (Daddy): Hoo-Haa.
