Half Way There!

Today we hit our 21 weeks mark, so we are now over half way there! We can't believe how fast it has gone so far, and how quickly he'll be here! We can't wait to meet him. Besides our half-way milestone, we also felt the baby kick for the first time this week. Stacy hasn't been sure whether she's been feeling him on the inside or not, but now we can feel him on the outside too, so we're sure it's not just gas, it's him! He's a really active one too. He must be constantly doing flips in there. Kit says he's kicking a lot b/c he's going to be a great soccer player!

Now that the belly is really poking out and we can both feel him, it makes this even more real (I know we said that about the ultrasound too). God's design for creating human life is such an amazing thing, and we are so lucky to be included in his process. I think He gives us just the right amount of time to prepare for the baby and each little milestone we hit along the way, builds up our joy and excitement.

We're still taking baby boy name suggestions! We have a couple we like, but have not set our minds on anything yet. When we get closer and have a few narrowed down, we'll post them for feedback. Here is also an updated belly picture at 21 weeks! With the way he's making Stacy eat now, and the way her belly is already poking, we'd say he's going to be a little chunk like his dad was!
