Katelyn Grace Williams (*)

(*) Tentatively. We're calling her that right now. We both really like that name and I think that's what will probably stick when all is said and done. Let us know if you have any other suggestions.

First Order of Business: Congratulations to our friends Marcus and Jacque!!! Jacque gave birth to a 4 pound, 12 oz. healthy little boy named Elliot Friday morning. We're so happy for them and still so grateful for all of their help and advice as our pregnancy has progressed. Here are a couple of pics:

Second Order of Business: Today was our trip to the Diagnostic Center at Covenant for a more in-depth sonogram. Good news! Little Kate is looking great! The radiologist gave her a clean bill of health. Her heart's valves are pumping strong, her measurements look great and she's very active in the womb. Also, we now know "beyond a reasonable doubt" that this baby is a girl!

The radiologist thought that there is a possibility that Laura may be a little bit farther along than Dr. Killeen thought. The radiologist is giving us a due date of March 29, 2009. We'll see! I'm going to go with Dr. Killeen on this one...I figure since he's written the book on this stuff (literally), then he knows more than any ole' machine does.

The radiologist did say that Katelyn is resting a little low. She says that as the baby grows, she should rise in the womb. It didn't seem like anything to cause concern. We know that God is in control of this little one's development and the evidence of that so far is overwhelming. Laura is still feeling great!

So, without further ado...let me introduce to the world Katelyn Grace Williams:

She's not quite big enough to get a real crisp view but I think this is pretty darn good.


Here's Laura reclining for the show (the sonagram was displayed on a nice 52" Flatscreen)



Somewhere between 20 -21 Weeks



Here are a couple of videos I took:


Katelyn says, "Hi Mom and Dad!!!"



Amazing Grace!!!

Thanks for keeping up with us everyone! We love you all and God Bless! Keep praying (not just for us)...God answers!

How great is it going to be to tell little Katelyn that she was born the same year that Texas Tech won its first National Championship!
