Gender Revealing Party!
We used balloons to show reveal that it is a boy!!
To reveal the name, Lee read out of the bible in 1 Samuel. His name is Samuel Lucas because the Lord definitely answered our prayers and we want to dedicate our son to the Lord and pray that he will follow God's will for his life.

19 Weeks!
Although I meant to at least post a blog after every doctor's visit, it is amazing how fast time goes by! Our last appointment was at 16 weeks, and thank the Lord everything is going great! I saw this pregnancy blog template and thought that it would be great to go by for the rest of the pregnancy so that I can remember as much as I can about this amazing experience!
How far along? 19 weeks!!!
Size of baby: Approximately six inches long and weighs almost eight and a half ounces now! Wow!
It's amazing to think he/she is as long as a sub! Baby Franklin's heartbeat was 152
at 16 weeks.
Maternity clothes?: I have had to buy some maternity tops. I can still wear some regular tops, but
some of them just look weird.
Gender?: We have our anatomy ultrasound on May 16th!
Movement: I have started feeling some flutters. The kicks are beginning to feel a little stronger this
week. It is so amazing to feel my baby move.
Sleep?: Thankfully right now I sleep wonderfully. Sometimes, a little too good : ) I actually fell
asleep at 8:00 Friday night. The only thing is, I wake up at least 5-6 times a night to pee.
Cravings?: I have been craving salty/sour things. So salt and vinegar rice cakes, green apples. I also
want a lot more protein and less foods that you just snack on. And the unhealthy food that
has felt good on my stomach for some reason is french fries. I also have some really
weird food aversions like peanut butter and ranch dressing (two things I loved before I got
pregnant)! I cannot stand to smell or taste either of these right now!
Symptoms: Thankfully less nausea! However, a lot more heartburn now! Of course fatigue. I have
finally been able to at least start walking during the second trimester though. During the
first trimester, all I wanted to do was get home and go to bed : ).
What I miss?: Nothing right now. I am still so overwhelmed and happy about the pregnancy that it
is hard to focus on what I miss. I do miss my coffee though!!
Milestones: My husband and I have decided on names but we are keeping them a secret until our
gender reveal party next week! I cannot wait!
What I am most nervous about?: I think there is always a fear for your baby and wanting everything
to be okay. It is definitely an experience that you learn to trust the Lord and I know that I have
to leave everything in His hands and pray. Worrying will not change a thing!
What I am most excited about?: The gender reveal party next week!! I cannot wait to tell our family
what it is going to be and to start buying non gender neutral baby items!!
Hopefully, I will now make this at least a weekly or bi-monthly post! God is good!
