This is my sister Rachael's daughter, Emerson. She was born Dec. 26th, so she will definitely be the cousin closest to our baby in age. Rachael was excited that she would have someone to play with. Seeing pictures of her and hearing stories about her already rolling over makes me think about all the excitement we have yet to come.
Bo is terrified that we will have a child with red hair (even though that is what my mom openly wishes for...) He says that he always got teased and hated his red hair when he was younger. I would love for our child to have his blue eyes, good vision, and perfectly healthy teeth. Let's just say that my family genes in those areas are not so good. (Thanks Dad!) All my sisters and I have dark brown eyes and dark brown hair just like our father. Mom's red hair and green eyes are nowhere to be seen.
Well, in just over a week we will go in for the sonogram that will give us a better estimate of a due date. I am really hoping it is October. My normal doctor says that she has too many other scheduled deliveries for the month of September, so if I am due then, she will have to pass me over to another doctor in her practice. I guess we will see what God has planned!
And on that note, I will really be praying for God's direction as to whether or not I should go on our last scheduled summer trip to Guatemala. I selfishly feel that I have worked the previous two years and don't want to miss out on seeing the church dedicated and all the fun stuff ahead. But at the same time, I will be taking a week of vacation from work to go, and my internal alarm went off thinking that I might very well need it later. I know God will provide and protect me if I am supposed to go, so we will ask for that decision to come to me quickly and surely.
Tell Bo that having red hair isn't so bad.... I've survived it for 25 years and it hasn't been bad at all. I guess you can add my vote to your moms. I hear that you have to have red hair on both sides in order to have a red head in the family.
