"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Baby Blanchard

Last night I felt the baby move inside Ashley for the first time.  It felt like the baby was trying to kick it's way out.  I've never felt anything like it.  Today we found out if the baby that is growing inside of Ashley is a boy or girl.  It was cool to see the ultrasound and actually see the baby. (I'll try and get some of the pics from the ultrasound posted)  From the very beginning I thought it was a boy.  I don't know why and I really didn't care.  If it is a boy, great.  If it is a girl, great.  Just as long as it is healthy and would grow to know and love Jesus.  So, our ultrasound confirmed what I thought.  There's a BOY growing inside of Ashley.  We taped the ultrasound on a VHS tape so we can watch it and share it with family, especially the little dude when he arrives.
