It's a girl!

Well, if it is not a girl then we'll have one prude baby on our hands come June 4, 2007 (give or take 10 days :o)

Baby Murky is now a Murkette, or perhaps just Murki with an "i". For those who have asked, Murki is just the name we have been using for fun for our baby since we didn't know their gender. I suppose now we'll have to actually undertake finding her a more suitable female name, which certainly is not an easy task as there are so many females in the family who already have such good names.

Nicole was having difficulty at first transitioning to the realization that we will be having a girl join our family next and not a boy. However, I did find her shopping online for baby girl clothes just a little while ago, and am pretty sure that she is adjusting just fine now.

I'd like to show you our first picture of little Murki (we'll find a new name, I promise). It looked like she was picking her nose. However, we have no scanner with us, so we'll have to post it later.

Despite all of the fun news, the only reason we have this new is because of some complications that came up yesterday which brought about the ultasound ahead of schedule. We were not able to get the results back today, but should know more tomorrow. The baby looks fine and is developing normally, however there could be some difficulty in the pregnancy depending on the outcome of the results. I know everything is in God's hands. He has been so good to us and I believe that we will see his healing hand here as well. I appreciate your prayers for Nicole and Murki that Nicole will be at peace and be able to rest well and that Murki will continue to be fearfully and wonderfully made.

Blessings to you all.
