Our Son of Promise

Drumroll please... Our little Bun is a Boy!! Surprise, surprise - for those of you who know the Sandler lineage :o)!

This has been a big last two weeks. First, about a week and a half ago, I really, truly felt our little boy moving around! At first I really didn't know what I was feeling, but then I was certain. Sometimes, I think he is bouncing off my bladder or running his little feet back and forth. It's so amazing! It was all that more real two days ago when we got to see him moving around. He was very cute as we watched him on the sonogram. He kept raising his hand up to his face and wiggling his feet. The tech said that he is absolutely perfect as far as the numbers go. And according to the ultrasound the due date is only two days different than what we had been told - so we're splitting the difference and saying August 27th! Of course, we're hoping he's a little late so he'll be a Sandler September baby... in keeping with Tradition!

I think it's time to share the story of our Promise. We have known from the beginning that our little one would be a boy, because that is what God promised us. It was an amazing experience leading up to this new phase in our lives. God told Ben that we would be pregnant by the end of 2005... and guess what?! We were! Then He told Ben that we were to name him Isaac - so we have known all along - and now, we have proof! Our little "Promised One" will be named Isaac! We are so amazed at God's goodness!


Well, without any further delay... Isaac's first picture!



Baby Isaac weighs approximately 9 oz. and is 8 in. long from head to toe.



I am also growing nicely. This is me at 20 weeks, but the good news is I haven't gained a single pound (boy, it doesn't look like it!) Anyway, my stats are great as well.
