It’s A Girl!!!

It's a Girl

I can’t believe it, we finally know who is in there.  We are so excited about the healthy baby girl who will be joining us in a little over 2 months.  I had an ultrasound today and the doctor said he can never be 100% sure with girls, but this is a textbook shot of a little girl bottom!

Paul and I decided a while ago on a girl name, but we were going back and forth on the boy names.  So now we know that Lydia Ann is who we have been praying for all this time. 

Lydia:

“13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. 15When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. ‘If you consider me a believer in the Lord,’ she said, ‘come and stay at my house.’ And she persuaded us………..40After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, where they met with the brothers and encouraged them. Then they left.”      

~Acts 16:13-15, 40

Ann:

My mother’s middle name.

Lydia Ann, we pray that God will use you.  that you will be a worshiper of Him.  that you will be an encourager.  both are traits of the Lydia of Acts 16 and my mother Patricia Ann Mayeux.

I’m all choked up over your explanation of her name:) – but it is nothing compared to watching the ultrasound and seeing her move. Hmm, I think Lydia is going to need an excursion to buy sweet little baby girl clothes! While shopping, we can get big brother Nathan something special, too. Let the spoiling begin!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I told you it was a girl!!!!!….no I didn’t , just kidding! She will be awesome but I think Paul has some delusions if he thinks she will listen to him as the first Lydia listened to Paul. GOOD LUCK with that!!!! :-) ) Can’t wait to see her. We love you guys and hope to see you if possible while you are in the states. Grace and Peace
