WE ARE HAVING..........

A boy and a girl!!! We could not be happier!!! Our little boy will be named Gideon Andrew. Our little baby girl will be Elizabeth Lynn (we will call her Lizzy!) Of course the names are not just random...they have significance. We decided we wanted to use Biblical names- since Abby Anne is from the Bible...okay well not Abby Anne-but her real name, Abigail. Gideon has such an amazing story in the Bible of being a warrior for the Lord, which is our prayer for our little Gideon. It goes further than that, though. Stephen is a Gideon- which for those of you who do not know- is an organization for men who pass out Bibles to hotels, military, schools, etc. My Pop was also a Gideon, so the Gideons have always been special to me. Andrew is Stephen's middle name. As for our little Elizabeth Lynn...Elizabeth of course was the mother of John the Baptist. She so desired to have a baby. The Lord knew her heart and desires and answered her prayers, just as He did for us. Beth is also my middle name! Lynn is my sister,Wendy's, middle name. It is so funny how you can see personality even on an ultrasound. Lizzy was laid back, relatively still, and calm. Gideon, on the other hand would not sit still!!! (Which explains why I feel him all the time moving around in there!) Everything looked perfect, heart, kidneys, bladder, brain, legs, arms, fingers and toes!! The Lord has blessed us above more than we could ask or think and we are so excited to meet our little ones. Abby Anne looks forward to being a big sissy to Gideon and Lizzy, too! Continue to pray for all 5 of us in the next few months!!

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think...unto HIM be the glory!" (Ephesians 3:20-21)
