Meet the Baby
Carmen update: Carmen had a fever this morning and congestion all day. She is comfortably sleeping now so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I went in for my 12 week ultrasound today. Everything looks good! Baby sat perfectly still while they measured and then started jumping around when they tried to look at his/her hands and feet. Every time I see the doctor, they decide I am further along than I thought. If I keep going to the doctor, I may be due next month! Ha, ha! As of today I am 12 weeks and 6 days. I am going to keep my February 7, 2009 due date (the second due date I was given) because I can remember it!
I am still nauseous and throwing up but I am beginning to feel a wee bit better. I am HAPPY about that!
Here’s baby’s first portrait! (Lauren said, “It looks like a BOY. It doesn’t have any hair.”)

WOW!
That’s it! Just a big WOW! We are so excited for you all and glad that you are feeling a bit better.

I’m so glad everything is going well with the baby. I pray that your sickness will end soon. If I remember correctly, it took longer than 12 weeks to start feeling better. I think it was more like 14-16 weeks.
Fantastic Lana & Dave! “Amazin’ Love” from our Father above. I pray for Carmen and Lauren and Baby Coddington and U2*
How exciting!
Love always,
Dad, the Rebel T1i

Praise God that things are going good (except the nausea of course!)!! The picture is amazing! Listen to Lauren about it being a boy, somehow kids know these things! Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Keeping you all in my prayers, Rikki.
Thanks for sharing this! How awesome is our God, and THIS precious life who we hold in our hearts and pray for!!!
Hi there Lana, I am sure I knew you were pregnant but absolutely forgot I guess ,so, in case I didn’t say it yet Congratulations! What a beautiful baby. I hope you feel good today, and Carmen. Congratulations Dave. God bless. In Christ, Joe
Thank you for keeping us posted on this newest member to OUR family. YHWH’s hands are fully seen in this pic. Wow, beautiful baby, Awesome God…. I agree with everyone… Hallelujah!!
OOOoooooh, I want to hear name ideas, are you sharing? Can we vote? BabyNames.com has a on-line voting system for names. We did this and put a button on our blog that linked people to the survey. We put tons of names on the list and embedded our favorites. It was fun to see what people thought of our top names.
Hope you are feeling better soon, and glad Carmen is getting some rest. The pic is AWESOME…but why am I surprised? God is AWESOME!!!!
How amazing! Ultrasound pictures are my absolute favorite because they really show how awesome and powerful God is. Congratulations!
Hope you and Carmen feel better soon!

Wonderful to see God’s miracles…
Baby Coddington looks wonderful. So sorry Carmen is not feeling well. We are praying for you all. Love ya lots.
Aw, what a great picture. I am so happy for your family.
I hope Carmen feels better soon.

My stepson Christian said the exact same thing about our twins looking like boys due to the fact they had no hair! When we determined they were boys, he said “I knew it!!!!!1″ Oh how cute are 5 year olds! I hope you and Carmen start to feel better! So happy for you all!
The baby looks beautiful! Glad you’re feeling better!! Hope you’re getting some sunshine to enjoy — we’re not!
I hope Carmen gets to feeling better soon. I will keep her in my prayers.
Wow, look at the baby, that’s a really good picture too. I would get some when I was pregnant with Layla and Mark would ask, “What exactly am I looking at here”? lol I’m happy to hear that you are feeling a wee bit better…hopefully the further along you get the better you will feel. That’s how my pregnancies were. I am so happy for you and your family Lana. I will be praying for yall.
I just showed Samaiah the picture and told her you were having a baby, Lauren was going to have another brother or sister and she was going to have a new cousin.
She jumped up and down in excitement and said….
“It looks like a boy because it has no hair”
Hmmmm, maybe our girls know something!
It was good to chat with you today.
Still praying as always,
Love you tons,
Trish
Beautiful baby! I hope Carmen is feeling better.
Great picture! Thanks for sharing. It’s good to know you are feeling a little bit better.
WOW! How beautiful he/she is! Just amazing to witness the handiwork of God. So glad you are beginning to feel better.
She looks perfect. Congratulations.
I don’t know why I said “she”…
What an awesome picture! I asked Katia to look and guess whether it was a boy or a girl and she said “I don’t know because the baby doesn’t have any hair yet!” They all think alike!
Well, I am glad you are feeling better, but nausea is a great reminder that a life is growing inside you! What an awesome miracle!
I’m praying that Carmen will feel better soon too.
