Today is the day Charley and I have been waiting and waiting... and waiting for!!! We went to find out what our little sweetie is - and prayed he/she would cooperate. Well, it was a while before the baby DID cooperate, but *finally* the technician (who was AWESOME by the way) said, "So you're going to TN in a few days? You know what the nice thing about TN is this time of year? They start putting out a lot of cute Spring dresses ...." It was starting to click... then he said, "you're gonna have to pick up a few because you're having a baby GIRL!!
You can't know how excited I was! And Charley's been wanting a baby girl since before he can remember! I couldn't stop giggling! The technician said, "oh that's good, keep laughing, that'll help her move to a different position... maybe she'll quit standing on her head and I can measure her spine!!" Like I said, she didn't want to cooperate. We got some great little pictures of her too, which I will post asap. Charley will have to drag out and dust off his old scanner, and we'll get them on here so ya'all can see our little girl (she still looks somewhat alien-ish, but that's okay!) :)
God is SO awesome! My brother-in-law emailed me a few minutes ago congratulating us and reminded me what Psalm 127:3 says:

"Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth.
5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them."
5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them."
What a blessing she will be! Thanks for your prayers as we continue on in this pregnancy... Praise God!! :)

YAY! Girls are SO great! (not that boys aren't wonderful, but there's something so sweet and precious about a little, tiny girl!) Girls are most definitely more fun to shop for! And as many times as I have heard that verse, it always brings such a smile to my heart! Children really are such a wonderfully, precious gift from God!
I knew it! I knew it! A little girl! She is going to be an adorable blond girl! :D!
God is so good!
Love,
Dana
awww......how exciting!!!
I still have a sore throat from all the shrieking when you called earlier. I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!
haha Jen, I know, this may be the happiest I've been since my wedding day!!!!! Charley just called me at work to inform me that he went and bought some baby toys for Eden... It's going to be tough not spoiling her rotten. We need to hurry up and have more kids after she gets here!!!! asdfl;afjd;asjf;s
love you!
Dana, YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!!!! :):)
More kids?????? We don't even have ONE yet.
Lots of hoopin' and hollerin' from the Lockwood house right now!
Rebekah's first comment was "Yea! She can marry Eliseo!"
I told her to not be so presumptuous...Noah, Nehemiah or even our new little boy would work too ;)
I'm so happy for you! Hugs to you from all of us!
love and prayers,
Jaynee
Jaynee, I could NOT think of a better family for this little girl to marry into.. we will raise her RIGHT! ;) We already pray for her purity, future spouse, and that she will LOVE JESUS!
Love you, Jaynee!!!! :)
Congrats, Jess!!!
Can I assume from the response to your sister that her name is going to be Eden? How exciting! :0)
So happy for you both!
I just wanted to come back to shriek some more...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Jaynee, save some of your kids to marry into the Igarashi household, too, k?
A little baby girl! Wonderful! She is going to be so beautiful!
Have a nice trip to TN!
*YAY* Now its my turn, right?! I'm so excited for you guys :D And you're right, you're gonna have'ta get in a few more kiddos or else this little one is gonna have Charley wrapped around her finger :) (its inevitable, for daddy's of little girls. No other humanly force is stronger!)
YAY that is awesome :O)
I thought it would be a girl :D
yayness
Audra, I loved your comment.. and yes, she already IS Charley's little angel. lol He already talks to her and gets giddy when talking ABOUT her with me. :) It will definitely be a sweet relationship that they have... :)
love ya!
Girls are the best! LOL! I speak from experience. Take it either way, we have both. But I'm actually meaning 'cause I was a girl... ;o)
Wait! That might scare you!
Congratulations!
...still shrieking...
Jess,
I'm so excited for you!! I've already started looking at pink and girly things for baby Eden. I went to the Christian bookstore and they had precious little hangers. They were satin pastels with a verse on each one. (It's actually pretty handy to hang up their little outfits). There was all sorts of stuff for the nursery too. Are you going to go wild decorating, now that you know?

WOOOO HOOOOO!
Girls are awesome! (Boys are nice, too...but It's so much fun to have a girly girl!)
Congratulations!
Michelle
