It's a Girl!

Sorry to most of you who had guessed it was a boy...the ultrasound (unless God decides to edit this) showed pretty convincingly that the next Hetrick to be added to our household is yet another female! Wow! Anyone want to contribute to the ever growing need in the future of a Wedding Fund? Just kidding...this is completely amazing and we are really excited!

The baby seemed very healthy, which makes us very grateful. And JT is excited too...which just shows God's grace in his life. He's excited that Daddy and he will still be the only "Mans" in the house. When Daddy is away, he still doesn't have to share his 'manly' duties with anyone yet. yet...

Well, the contest will continue...and I think what I will do is give a little prize to each of those who guessed girl, so that we can concentrate on the next milestone, which is the arrival date.

WHICH, I have to say...was most rudely changed...rude for those of you who guessed later than earlier...they adjusted the due date to August 12th now...sorry about that!

Due to their measurements, the baby is about 20 weeks already...not just 19...so they adjusted the date according to that.

Well, if anyone wants to edit their guess on the due date, please feel free to do that, and we'll give a prize to the person who most closely gets it. (earlier or later...none of this stuff of "you have to be earlier than the date").

Have fun!

Praise the Lord for such a wonderful day yesterday of grace-filled excitement!

Names (Boy or Girl until we know for sure)

We're wondering if folks could provide us with some help for the name of this baby. It's not like we'll only go with your suggestions, but we'd like to have a little bit of help on the brainstorming side of things.

So, feel free to add your thoughts on what names you could see matching with the rest of us: Jeremy, Kate, JT (Jeremiah Todd), Bethany Grace, and Charity Kate Hetrick.

We've got a good thing going so far with the names (we've not yet regretted one)...

but if you have some thoughts, feel free to send them to us! Please don't suggest names you might use (for younger couples or singles) some day...and preferably no names that are used for folks we know that are close to us...etc, etc.

Picky picky, we know...but! Thanks for any help you can provide us!

May you know the peace of the Savior this Easter season,

Jeremy for the fam

Thanks everyone for playing the game!!

We'll try and post the results as we get them. If it's a girl, so far, it's two horse race with Jill and Jocelyn. Something tells me that it's a boy...do you think the majority would be able to tell us prophetic knowledge of the gender of the baby?? Who knows! JT thinks it is a boy though...and folks have told us that children sometimes are able to tell. That's pretty silly, but, again, only the LORD knows!!!

This is fun!

Ultrasound This Monday!

Hey, everyone!

Just another quick post here. If you are going to get into the contest for the baby guessing of gender and birthday with time, get in quickly.

We have our ultrasound on Monday, and we will be deciding when to reveal the gender of the baby!!!!

Who knows though, we'll probably not get the news correct or it will be so hard to see, that we can't be sure.

So, if you are in, get in!!!

Thanks,

Jeremy

Doing Well! and Guess The Baby's Sex and Birthday!

Well, it's been awhile since we last posted.

we're doing well now, after surviving the flu as an entire family! Thanks for all of you who have prayed for us!

This post will be quick and to the point as well...we'll post again soon, I promise!

We're doing a little contest to see who can guess the baby's sex and birthday (to the day). If you'd like to do so, please just add a comment to this post and we'll add it to our summary excel. We're going to be giving a small prize to the winner. (please also add the time of day as well, since we have already had a lot and we need a tie breaker!).

Thanks!

Jeremy for the fam...
