Baby #2 doing well!

Yesterday we went for our first official ultraound with baby #2. I was 11 weeks and 2 days along and the baby was moving around like crazy! It's amazing how much it already looks like a baby! The ultrasound tech said if whe had to guess rught now she would say it's a girl, because there was NOTHING between it's legs (at 13 weeks, only 12 days farther along than this baby, we had a pretty good idea that Luke was a boy...). I'm not buying anything pink and don't you either! We will wait and see, it's still early! The baby was the right size and it's heart was beating 185 beats per minute! It's always a miracle to see your baby so early, it makes it so real!
On the subject of babies...Congress will soon be voting on the Freedom of Choice Act that would eliminate parental notification for underage girls seeking abortions, lift all bans on partial birth abortion, and would require all hospitals in the country to perform abortions on demand - even Catholic hospitals. The bishops have vowed to close every Catholic hospital in the country (that's 30% of our nation's hospitals!) if the act passes. President Obama has said that if it passes Congress he will absolutely sign it into law...sad. If you would like to help protest this Act please show your support for unborn babies by signing the petition at http://www.fightfoca.com/. You can also send a letter to your Senator and/or Representative - or even our new President! Let them know you do not support the FOCA and you respect life.
Always a subject near and dear to me, but especially when I am pregnant myself and am experiencing God's greatest blessing of bringing another soul into the world. I am greatful for the honor!

{Thanks to Kelly Thieneman for e-mailing me regarding the petition, hopefully we can add lots of signatures from the people that check our blog!}
