Anna Grace - 17 weeks
I can't believe I am already almost halfway through this pregnancy! Thank goodness the morning sickness has finally gone away. 
I was actually having some worries the last couple of weeks- In my previous pregnancies, I have always felt movement by 15 weeks....but with this one, I'm already almost though with my 17th week and have felt no movement. I kept trying to feel something, but no matter what I did, I couldn't feel a thing. I was afraid that when i got the ultrasound, I might find out that the baby was not okay. It was pretty scary.
However, we were so fortunate...when we got the ultrasound the other day, not only is the baby healthy and kicking away inside my tummy, I also found out that we are having a GIRL! Bonnie is ecstatic!! She has prayed for a baby sister for years now, and had finally thought she would never get one. But she will have one now! She told me yesterday, "God answered my prayer!!!"
Bonnie asked us the other day if we could name her "Anna Grace". I thought it sounded really pretty, and the names have good meanings, and I thought it would be such a wonderful thing if she could know that she named our baby....so we agreed to it! Now we have a little Anna Grace to wait for! : )

AWESOME!!! Somehow I missed reading that you were expecting again! Me too! I am 16 wks 4 days and found out we're having another boy! That's 5! I was worried too. 5 kids and I really wasn't feeling this baby move. I thought I had some, but not like with the others. I was worried because when we lost Samuel, he was unable to move because there was no fluid. Thankfully there was fluid and all looks great! Congrats to you, Bethany!!! So happy to hear about your new baby girl!

Congratulations! Anna Grace is a lovely name and I bet Bonnie will feel a very special attachment to her for their whole lives. How wonderful!
I'm also pregnant with my 5th, but not quite 11 weeks yet. I have 1 boy and 3 girls, ages 7-16 months. My kids are hoping for boy....especially my son....but of course we'll be delighted with another girl!
