My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.       2 Corinthians 12:9

A little "weight"-ing game!

Yes, I know it is almost 5:00 in the morning, but I woke up thinking of things to do and couldn't go back to sleep! :) Not that I'm excited about the possibility of having our baby girl sometime today. Nah, not me!!

Anyway, I meant to post this to the update last night and forgot, so I'll do it now! Before our amniocentesis yesterday, Vickie did a quick measurement for us to see how big Rebekah might be. Rebekah wasn't perfectly cooperative, but the measurements showed her to be somewhere between 5 lbs. 9 ozs. and 5 lbs. 13 ozs. Of course, measuring in utero is not always accurate or sometimes even close (Caleb was measured at 6 and 1/2 pounds, and he was born at 8 lbs. 5 ozs.!).

If you would like to play along, leave a comment in the comments section (just click on the bottom of the post where it says "comments" and use your google account to sign in, or leave an anonymous comment with your name included). In your comment, guess how much Miss Bekah will weigh at birth and how long/tall she will be. I will post the winner who guesses exactly or comes closest to her actual birth weight and length sometime after delivery. Happy guessing!! :)

P.S. If we don't end up going to Charleston today, I will re-open the guessing game the day before our actual delivery day so you will have a chance to guess again.
