December 4, 2009
On December 3, 2009, we found out you were a boy! Your daddy and I are so excited to know that we are having you as our first child. We have both always wanted what God wanted to give us. I have always wanted two children, a boy and a girl, and your daddy "wants to start with one" (and he really wanted a boy first). Even though the "worldly" things convinced us we were having a little girl, God had other plans. The "Godly" signs were unexplainable until now. For example, when we bought our first home last year, the room that was intended to be yours was already painted blue! We also received some gifts from people at work that received them from other people they know (which was also a blessing from God). I got some maternity clothes from a lady who was already my size, a bassinette with a blue ribbon, and a car seat with a base that is blue and black. And we didn't even know that you were a boy yet! Isn't God good? We'll answer that - yes, He is.
The ultrasound was such a wonderful experience. You were definitely a mover! A very active little boy! We are going to have to have another ultrasound done next time to check your heart because you were moving so much the tech couldn't get a good look at it. But that's okay, because we love to see your little face. We got several photos of you this time. Your little feet, a profile of your face, your arm and leg, but one thing you made known was what you are. I had prayed all day that God would give us a clear-cut, defined answer to your gender, and within 10 seconds of the ultrasound, you made it known to us very assuringly. Thank you and thank the Lord God! You both took a load off of your mommy and daddy! We had been nervous that whole day waiting to see what you were and make sure everything was okay. Everything about you is perfect in our eyes and God's eyes. We love you and can't wait until we are able to meet you in person for the very first time.
I began feeling you move for the very first time on December 2, 2009, but I felt you move even more during the ultrasound. While the tech was pressing on my belly, I could see you on the screen moving and jumping. When you kicked really hard, I felt it in my belly! It was the coolest feeling ever! I felt you move even more during the rest of the day, and this morning as I was getting up. I can't wait to feel you move even more. According to the ultrasound tech, "You are going to be feeling him move a lot in the next few weeks!" All because you definitely are a little squirmer!
Papa and Mimi Brasher, Aunt Kristen, and first cousin Caden (on mommy's side) found out about you in the ultrasound room. Lindsay, the ultrasound tech, allowed everyone to come in and watch. They are so excited about you! Gigi (grandmother Tresa), Grandma and Grandpa Nesbitt (one set of great-grandparents), and Terry found out about you at Grandma and Grandpa Nesbitt's house. They wanted to hear in person all at the same time. We showed them the ultrasound photos (with the exception of the one of you showing your "stuff") to let them guess what you were. Gigi had her mind set that your were a boy anyway and bought you a blue baby blanket to give to us after she found out. We told them by pulling out a pair of blue baby slippers from under your daddy's jacket (We bought them before we went over to Gigi's house. We wanted to buy something for you once we found out what you were. Our first present to you...). We said, "It's a boy!" and they were so excited. We watched the ultrasound DVD so they could see you. They figured out quickly that you are a mover! We called Eddie and Donna (your other grandparents on your daddy's side - your daddy's dad and stepmom) as well as Mimi and Papa Logan (the other great-grandparents). They are so excited to have a boy in the family!
You were named John Gabriel Logan for a reason. "John" is after your grandfather Eddie (John Edward) and Great-grandfather Papa Logan (John Howard). "Gabriel" is after the arc angel Gabriel in the Bible. Your daddy and I were sitting in church one Sunday night, and both of us were told by God during that service that you were to be named Gabriel or Michael, after the arc angels. We both liked Gabriel, thus your name. Your name has much meaning behind it. You and everything about you (your room, gifts, name, timing, gender, etc.), EVERYTHING is God given and God sent. We love you so much and are so thankful, proud, and blessed to be your parents!
We will see you again on December 28, 2009. What a great way to end the year...seeing you again on ultrasound and hearing your little heart beating! We will see you then, but mommy can't wait to feel you again! (And daddy, too!) We love you!
