We went to the doctor's this morning and Vanessa had an ultrasound. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. You can't help but look on in awe at what is taking place. A little life inside Vanessa's tummy slowing developing. We saw her move her feet and arms a bit and even suck her thumb. God is awesome.
We are both very happy to know we have a daughter. I was hoping for a boy, but of course I am just as thrilled to have a daughter. If she looks anything like her mother I will be ordering the gun and the rocking chair soon.
Posted by micahellis at October 25, 2005 02:47 PMThat's really neat ya'll. What a blessing, and a daunting task. We'll be praying for you. Do they really do that rocking chair and gun thing that far north?
Posted by: Dailey at October 25, 2005 03:19 PMYou will have to BEAT THEM OFF WITH A STICK
Posted by: Nate at October 25, 2005 03:23 PMOkay, so maybe we are going to just have to settle for Joni or Joan...maybe even Dawn if we stretch it a bit. I'm sure any of those would be good options.
Hah.
Micah and Vanessa. I'm so pumped! When you post I pray for you and the new little one, so keep us updated on the progress. Our God truly is awesome!
Posted by: jonkopp at October 25, 2005 03:39 PMThanks Guys,
Dailey your right they don't do that this far north... But I will.
Thanks for the name ideas Jon. :) Thanks for the prayers. We very much appreciate that.
Nate... YOU BETCHA
Posted by: micahellis at October 25, 2005 03:46 PMCongratulations you two....so many blessings and all from ONE AMAZING GOD. You'll be in my prayers.
Posted by: Mindi at October 25, 2005 03:51 PMJust awesome! When I saw our first ultrasound, reality started hitting me and it wasn't just a surreal idea but a tangible gift of God!
It gets better yet! Just you wait! Less than 4 weeks for us and our lives will be flipped upside down!
Bring ... it... ON!!
Posted by: Cruv at October 25, 2005 04:03 PMThanks Mindi,
Good to hear from you. Congrats to you as well! I just read your blog and appreciated your thoughts.
Cruv,
Thanks for the energetic slap on the back. :) I am pumped... but nervous. Lot's of thoughts going through my head. But I am thankful and trusting. Congrats to you as well. :)
congratulations on the house and child! (it took me a while on the gun/rocker comment, but i totally get it now!) =}
Posted by: joy at October 25, 2005 04:31 PMHooray for you guys. Glad to hear it, glad you shared, glad you're not my father-in-law. :-)
Posted by: david at October 26, 2005 12:59 AMThank you Joy, glad it finally sunk in. Better later then never. :)
Dave, You got that right. Vanessa and I are riding in the car. Vanessa is thinking about baby clothes and baby names and cute stuff. Micah on the other hand is thinking about talking to her about the filth we know as boys and whether I should put pellets or slugs in my shotgun.
How cool. Truly a miracle. I mean that you're actually an adult now. Blessings be upon you. May you guide her as she grows---and may you never tell her (say on her 5th birthday) that you were hoping for a boy.
Posted by: Brannon at October 26, 2005 12:37 PMaw...Micah's gonna be a daddy. I'm so happy for you and Vanessa! God bless you and your growing family!
Posted by: Amanda D. at October 27, 2005 10:26 PMCONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm very happy for you guys! You'll be awesome parents.

Posted by: jon at October 28, 2005 12:26 PMMicah and Nate, you are both dorks. I could hear you both saying that in your "voice". It did make me chuckle and grin though.
I will be praying for your daughter that she will have patience with you.
JON!!!! You never comment on my blog! I miss you!
Jon,
Great to hear from you my long lost brother. I am so excited! I am going to be a father and an uncle. :) Yeah, people that havn't been on my blog in a while are often shocked that I update it now. give me a call sometime.
