It's a girl!!!
God is good! Our time in Edmond, although short, has been filled with an amazing amount of God’s workings that have led up to our appointment on Thursday, and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention what He has been doing in the Lundy family lately.
Within our first week here we were reconnected with an old friend that Heather used to work with about four years ago. The family is amazing and asked us out to dinner our first weekend here during which we were asked to a Young Life event, which is the organization which he works with, the next evening. Not only did we have a great time at the event but we met several amazing people, one of which was a OB/GYN who practices in Edmond. When we arrived she sought out Heather and I and gave us specific instructions on how to get into her group of doctors so that she could “Take care of us”. We had been very worried about this since we had no idea who we were going to see or how to even go about finding a Doctor not knowing the area. Heather found the doctor’s information and by Monday we had an appointment to see the her that Thursday, which just so happened to be the only day I could have joined her for the visit.
When we showed up on Thursday we had no idea what to expect but were pleasantly surprised. The Doctor has the most wonderful bedside manner of any that we have ever seen. Not only was she very knowledgeable (as all Doctors are) but she took her time with us explaining the ins and outs of everything that we may not have know about fully. She gave us practical advice and guidance and shared her sincere joy with us that this baby was coming along so well. After Heather’s checkup and hearing the heartbeat she informed us that we would need to get an 18-20 week sonogram within the next week if not within the next few days. I asked her if there was any way to get one done that day to which she walked outside and asked her nurse to fit us in as soon as possible that day, which happened to be 30 minutes from that time. Awesome!!
The sonogram was intense as they did all the measurements to make sure all is growing well and looks fine, which it did. All things measured well and the baby is growing at a normal rate (the ass to ankle ratio was almost perfect...better than the doctor had ever seen before, which made me happy). During the sonogram the radiologist kept saying over and over how lucky we were to have our Doctor as she was, in his opinion, one of the best around. Awesome!! And then he let us know that we are having a little girl, my prayer from the beginning. She is a mover and squirmed around like crazy and likes to lay with her hand on her nose like her mom. We could also see her moving her mouth a lot which might indicate that she’s a talker already! The next day the Doctor called Heather at home to talk about the sonogram and to see what we were having and was genuinely joyous with and for us. How awesome is that??
Words cannot express how I feel when I look at these pictures. All I can do is look back to Psalm 139 where David expresses almost the same feelings saying, “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mothers womb. I will give thanks to You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them”. So often I need control of all things in my life to make sure they will go exactly how I need them to, but this is something I cannot do anything about, I control nothing. Yet God has done more than I could have imagined. Our little girl is being formed right at this moment through God’s workmanship and it is perfect. She has everything she needs and it’s all from Him and there is nothing I can do but sit back in awe and say that He is good and gives us all we need. God bless you all.
With much love,
