Our Little Lima Bean!

Click on this picture to see the words!


Well, here's the latest! We're calling it our little lima bean, since we heard peanut was already taken!

We went to the doctor yesterday and she said that everything looks perfect. We got to SEE, but not hear, the heartbeat. It's beating at 126 beats per minute, which is great! We're very excited and couldn't wait to share these pictures with you all. She said that our estimated due date is April 13, 2009. That's just one week after I turn 27, so that's very exciting to us.

Several of you have asked how I'm feeling, and I'll tell you, it's not great all the time! However, I got some medicine so hopefully I'll be able to start school on Monday nausea free. You can pray for that, too!

Thanks for all your comments and prayers! Keep both coming. We're praying that it will be healthy and whole.

Love you all,
Rachel (and Justin)

Awww, I love the blog. Keep it up! It is fun to see what is happening. What an awesome idea, an electronic baby book.

Justin came over to our hall and told me you uploaded the pictures. Little Lima Bean is awesome! That sound more female than male. :)

I hope you are feeling better soon. Take it easy!!
