Today we went to the doctor for our first scan. It was absolutely amazing. We feel like it is hard to describe in words at this stage the overwhelming emotions we are experiencing. Defnitely an overwhelming thankfulness towards God for this miracle of life!
 
Jumbo says he has no words to describe the pride and emotions that was present in him when he first saw and heard the heart beat! He is going to be a very proud daddy! 
 
Oh, I almost forgot to give you some more information. I am about 12 weeks pregnant and the due date is November 27th. So we will have a summer baby! According to the scan and the doctor the baby is looking healthy and everything is as it is suppose to be! Baby is 5,9cm (just over 2 inches) long and already VERY active!
 
Here is an image of the scan! There is a miracle growing in my tummy!

  6. Enjoy every step and every scan; this is your initiation Krieky – this life grows, you have very little to say in the matter – you nurture, feel, and then give life to life… what a miracle you are and it is; birth!

  7. Wow – how wonderful to see God’s awesome creation at work as He knitted your little one in your womb. I can’t imagine what incredible things the Lord has in store for your child as He ordained that she/he would be a prophet, teacher, evangelist or whatever endless amounts of tasks He has placed ahead already. What Godly examples you have already exemplified in this little one’s life. By the way, I didn’t see whether you are having a girl or boy! I guess you are waiting on a surprise? The Lord never ceases to amaze me in displaying His awesome Glory through His creation. Can I touch your belly when I come? You are loved by so many here!

  8. The greatest miracle is to be born again, but gods gift of a child is very close. May you both enjoy this time of preparation. Blessings to you 3.

    Hearing the heart beat and seeing the scan of the new life growing inside of you is truly an amazing thing … something wonderful to hold onto until you hold that baby in your arms.

  19. Good thing you don’t live here in Winnipeg otherwise it would be a winter baby and you’d need snow boots and a parka! haha Very happy for you and I know you will do motherhood proud!

  20. Aai, hoe lekker kan dinge raak!!! Ek en Anli is so bly saam met julle. Wat ‘n wonderwerk is die lewe nie. Die foto’s laat my altyd dink aan stuk in die bybel waar hulle praat van hoe God jou fyn aan mekaar geweef het in jou moederskoot. Dit is vir my wonderlik om te dink dat God nou besig is om julle wonderwerk fyn en noukeurig aan mekaar te weef. Julle moet die wonderlike tyd baie saam met mekaar geniet.
    Baie liefde

  21. Dit is n wonderlike tyd!!!! Geniet elke oomblik, en ek weet julle gaan die mees fantastiese twee ouers wees!!!!!

  22. The hand of God touches us all in so many ways. He has given you both a blessing like no other.. I am so happy for you both! I look forward to seeing you soon. Take care of you and baby.

  23. I am so thrilled for you both, Kriek! Our God is so awesome!! You may not remember me, I’m one of the Westwood Baptist Church’s prayer ministry members who prayed for you in that tiny room after the luncheon that Thursday. I just knew God would bless you, just didn’t know when. You are very special servants and I pray for a healthy, wonderfully bouncing baby!!!
    Love and prayers,
