It's A Girl for the Randers!

We are so very pleased to announce that a sweet baby girl will be joining our family in May! No, not to Travis and I, but to TJ & Cassie. Trav & I hope to find out the sex of our little one in 2 short weeks- Jan 9th!!! Our pregnancy is progressing beautifully. I am 17 weeks prego, have gained 5 1/2 lbs, am starting to "show" a bit and feel the occasional flutterings of our nugget...which are becoming more & more frequent. Baby Epperson weighs about 4 oz and is approximately the size of my hand spread wide open!!! We were able to hear the baby's heart beat again last week...which is beating at a rate of 146-150 beats per minute. Rhonda (Dr. Owen's nurse & a friend of ours from church) gave us her "unofficial guess" as to the sex of the baby....she confirmed what the sonographer, Dr. Owen, and every old wives tale, pencil & ring test have all attested to- a BOY!!!! We'll soon see!
Hope you all had a wonderful christmas with your families...we certainly did as I turned the big 2-9 & enjoyed my very favorite time of year with those we love most- an amazing reminder of how incredibly blessed we are!
