First Ultrasound and Miscellaneous


Well, here's our first ultrasound! At only 9 weeks you can see toes and he/she is covering their face with the arm. They were moving around and the heartbeat was 158 beats a minute. The doctor said everything looked great! Isn't that amazing? I think it really makes things feel a lot more real! It's funny how awesome it is - even though I've done this 2 times already! You can try and look to see what the sex is, but sorry - it's not possible yet. At about 18 weeks I'll have another ultrasound and hopefully be able to see then.
It makes me so sad to think that so many abortions take place at this stage and later. As you can see, contrary to Pro-Choice thought, the baby is very developed at this stage - it's so amazing to think that 7 weeks before this there was nothing there! I wish everyone could go and see an ultrasound, then they would know how real of a miracle it is! There is no doubt that God has a plan from the very beginning for these babies!... Now I'll get off my soap box!


On Palm Sunday, we had our church Easter Egg Hunt! This picture of Jonah is with his great friend Macie! Aren't they precious? They just giggle and laugh when they're together and they walk around holding hands everywhere. I just think that's so sweet!
On the other hand, Caleb was not that into the whole Egg Hunt. He just wanted to walk around kicking the eggs and saying "ball".
This is Adam and Jonah's robot costume. As you can see I was looking for my collander and vacuum hose for a few days. They had so much fun making their "super robot".

This is one of my favorites! Mr. Po-Caleb-Head! These are Mr. Potato Head glasses that Caleb loves to put on!
Right now, we're battling a stomach virus here at the Barker house. Jonah has been down since Sunday evening and I've just gotten over some kind of sickness! I don't know if it's pregnancy related or not. Hopefully we'll be back and running in a couple of days if no one else catches it!

I do have a medical reason for saying that it is a girl. I could be wrong, but maybe not. I didn't just guess or have a moment of thinking it was a girl, Tootsie.....Mindy

Well, I don't have any idea if you
will have a girl or another little
boy. But, regardless, another
wonderful little Barker is on the
way. And for that, we are grateful.
Cute, cute, cute pictures of the
boys.
Also Mandy, you do so well with 3 guys in the house, I'm confident you can handle 4 just as well.
Love, Ganmama/GG
