I’d like you to meet our little holy innocent!
Isn’t he/she cute?
To see that tiny heart chugging away yesterday did my mommy’s heart much good. The only “problem” at this point is that my estimated due date seems off. Those clever technicians! How did they know that I fudged on the “first day of my last menstrual cycle?” (And I’m usually so good about writing that stuff down. Alas, not last October…)
Not that it really matters in the end. The baby will come when the baby comes.
Though picking a good feast day for his/her arrival never hurts! ; )
In the Christ Child, we see foreshadowed the suffering Savior. In the murdered children of Bethlehem, first of many martyrs, we see foreshadowed the futile effort of the power of sin and death to destroy the true power that will bring it to destruction, though that power lies hidden in a child.

Have a blessed feast!

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! So…how many weeks are really? Today is also my parents 38th anniversary!! (in which I was born 9 mos later) Happy Feast day!

So wonderful! I can’t believe how excited I am for this!
So wonderful!
My dh used to carry the pics from the ultrasound around!
Love it!
Sue asks: So what is your due date?
I had been telling people August 6th (Feast of the Transfiguration) but the ultrasound pushed it back a week—to August 15th! (The Feast of the Assumption is one of my very favorites.)
I’m at about 7 weeks 2 days, according to the ultrasound.
PS. Kristen, I love the picture!
What a beautiful picture. I’m so happy for you.
Margaret,
What a sweet picture–so great to see that little kidney bean baby, isn’t it? 🙂
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Oh, we are so excited for you all! Your new due date is so close to Angel’s Birthday the 17th. I love the picture.
Wonderful post!!
This is as beautiful a photo as I have ever seen!
God bless all of you, dear Margaret! I am praying for that dear little treasure you have there!!!
Oh, Margaret, I am in tears of happiness for you. What a beautiful picture. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!
God bless the wee one!
(And his/her mama!)
