Baby Aalderink's picture day

Today was picture day for Baby Aalderink! We all went to the doctor's office together to see the new baby on the computer. The ultrasound went well, Baby looks healthy and already looks like the others--even Debbie, the ultrasound lady said Baby has the same nose as the other three. Baby is already active too, every time she took a picture it was of movement, so the above picture has a clear view of the profile, but the arms were moving in front of the face and chest, so the hands are kind of blurry. Below is another picture, where you can see a hand under a chin, and a foot wrapping around the umbilical cord. It is truly amazing what we can see with a computer before we can meet a baby face-to-face. They can measure size of internal organs, see blood flowing throughout the body, even measure bones! It is truly amazing to see just how fearfully and wonderfully made we are!

Psalm 139: 13-16
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

By the way, when Debbie asked if we wanted to know the gender and we said sure, she whispered to Nathanael. Then she told him to tell his mom and dad what she told him. He said "the baby will be born!" Her whispering was lost in translation. She tried a second time, and Nathanael told us the baby is a BOY! So Nathanael was right, God is making a new baby brother in there. Now to come up with a name...
