BOY!!!!!!

We are THRILLED (especially Matt, because he was right all along, whereas I wasn't sure at first, then thought it was a boy, then had girl dreams at the end) to announce that we have a SON!! His name is Asa Owens. Asa comes from King Asa in the Old Testament. He is recorded in 1 Kings 15 as doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord and loving God with his whole heart all his days. His middle name is Owens, after my paternal grandfather's middle name. My grandfather is very much a man who finished well in serving the Lord. We wanted to name our son after men who have set a tremendous example of honoring God from the beginning to the end.

Everything looked great on the ultrasound, though he would not turn his spine out for as clear of a shot as they would like. So, we will have a follow up ultrasound at our next appointment in February. They are not concerned, they just want to gather all the info they can.

He withheld no modesty, so the tech was quite sure we have a son. I will work on getting pictures scanned as soon as I can! Praise the Lord for a great report and even finding out we have a SON!
