Are you wondering who Micah is? Well think no further!!! Micah is the baby that is growing in muh belly! Yep! We named our little guy already and are anxiously awaiting his arrival. His full name will be: Micah Jewell Carter Dixon!
Went for my another appointment this week! God is so good, folks! All the time and don't ever think different. My baby boy is growing so fast and so healthy! I got a call the week of Christmas that they wanted to do another Ultrasound because they didn't get good pictures of his brain. I wondered after this phone call if that was their way of saying something was wrong without actually telling me. NOPE! He's perfect!!! (well as perfect as any human can be). GOD IS AWESOME! I am thankful God gave me peace to get through that grey area, also known as time, during the waiting period for my next appointment. Not only is he doing awesome - he's a fatty patty!!!! He's in the 85 percentile for his weight! WOW! He's almost 2 pounds and should only be a little over one pound! WOWSERS! I am measuring a week and 5 days ahead of what I am. I feel like I'm huge, but I am going to brag right here - I HAVEN'T GAINED ONE POUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked if I should be concerned about this and they said no. I've lost a total of 19 pounds, but it's okay. They said I might make up for it later in the third trimester! I do have a big baby bump and NOTHING normal fits, but I don't care. I am loving it! Micah moves around all day long. He especially likes to wiggle around when I'm ready to greet some well-anticipated sleep. (Uh-oh - is he already mimicing a college-kid rountine????) LOL
Last but, definately not least, Micah will enter this world April 27!! Providing nothing happens between now and then, it's on the schedule as of today!
It's rather ironic really. Both my boys were born on days with a 7 (Noah - 10/27 and Micah 4/27) and my girls were born on days ending with a 3 (Lydia 11/23 and Ruthie 12/3). God has an amazing sense of humor and I think it's a perfect way to end my child-rearing days! I did ask for a tubal, so this will be my 4th and final child. Ending a such a sweet note is music to my ears. I'm really blessed! Plus, I didn't want any more kids after 30 - so this is just really perfect because I will be 30 this July!
Thank you all for your prayers! I have like 16 weeks to go and appreciate your continued prayers and encouragement!
God is good - can I get an amen????
