First Ultrasound!

Well, we had our first ultrasound last week. It was a 5 week ultrasound to basically determine the number of babies. Hope, Gracie, and Krista (our foster daughter), all got to come with me, so we could find out at the same time. The blood tests showed hormone levels going up nicely and indicated one baby for sure, but were not high enough to say multiples. The ultrasound showed a single pregnancy. I am so incredibly thankful that we were blessed with another baby, but I am not going to lie. I was a little disappointed. Though it would be a ton more work for us, I was hoping for the sake of this baby that there would be a twin. Hope and Gracie are going to be so much older than him or her, that I, in my finite mind, think it would be better to have another sibling to grow up with. But you know what? God is sovereign and if this is what is in His plan, who am I to question it? Aren't His plans always better than ours? Doesn't He know us better and love us more and know the plans that are already laid out for our lives and for this baby's life. So I will rest in that fact His plan is perfect, mine is not, and He will be glorified. I have a feeling that this is a year where I will have to be reminded often of His sovereignty in and over all things. God is good!
