Hope Louise

An excerpt from a family update sent out today...

As we speak I am 11 weeks out from delivering our 3 child! It has gone by quickly but at the same time can't get here soon enough with the hot days ahead of us. For those of you who don't know we are having a girl this time. She is due September 18. Last week we had a 3D Ultrasound done and she was measuring 3.5 lbs. She is growing...growing...growing! My tum is testament to that! I feel like a turkey in the oven ready to pop! My past pregnancies have resulted in preterm labor around 34 weeks with bed rest and delivering around 37/38 weeks. I am approaching 30 weeks and we are praying that this time round we don't have that. I am trying to stay as hydrated as possible. Please join us in praying for this. Even though it gets uncomfortable I want her in as long as possible and out in God's timing. I am including some of the 3D scan photos. It is so amazing to be able to get a glimpse of her before she is here. Her photos resemble her brothers. She is showing the Armstrong chin and feet/toes (fingers!) with a blend of Strickland nose, cheeks, mouth. A good mix. And if the old wives tale holds true then my indigestion is a good indication that she will have plenty of hair. Her name will be Hope Louise.
