Our Baby...

Here is our second daughter. At least, we're pretty sure she's a daughter. We haven't gotten proper confirmation since about month four. Everytime since then the child has been less than cooperative. She is doing well--right in the middle of the growth chart. Her humerus (sp?) measured a little small so Shanee is worried she'll get my short arms. I'm just afraid she won't get my jokes.
We are so blessed to have her. We cannot believe it will be three more months until we get to see her.
Here's what she looks like from the outside. Yes, that is my beautifully pregnant wife slaving away in the kitchen--pregnant and cooking, but still shod.
Finally, our passion for our baby has caused us to think more about other babies who may not be so welcomed in their families. I would direct your attention to the following website: http://twentytwowords.com/2009/05/13/john-piper-addresses-president-obama-on-abortion/ . Take a look at what one of the world's best pastors had to say about the "right" to end precious little lives.

The Shanks shared with us a while back that you were expecting again. We just want you to know that we have been praying for you and thinking about you even though we haven't communicated that. What a precious ultrasound! I still pull out Caleb's ultrasound pics and look at them every once in a while. We can't wait to see all three of you in India!
