I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Alyssa May Vick!

It's A Girl!! The arrow is pointing to her girly parts. There's definitely nothing boy about that!
This is Alyssa's profile! She's got one hand waving above her face and one resting on top of her head.We also got to do some 3D pictures! This is Alyssa's hand right in front of her face. She wouldn't move it! Another shot of Alyssa's hand in front of her face! This is a shot of her legs hugged up tight against her body. Her little feet are up at the top, by her head.Another shot of the side of her face,... with her hand in the way! This picture is a close up of her feet. They're crossed at the ankles.We'll just have to wait until she arrives to really get a good look at her. The Doctor said that everything looked really great. Her heart was beating strong, and all of her bones and spine looked like they were developing properly. What a relief!!

Oh my gosh!!! Those pictures are amazing! Well, now you know how I felt when they told us we were having another boy. We were disappointed for about 2 seconds! And then the excitement of just having a healthy baby settled in, and we were over it. You guys make the cutest girls EVER, so it's a good thing you're the ones having them! Congrats you two! Love Aunt Cindy
