It never ceases to amaze me when God answers a prayer. After having a downer of a day on Saturday, we were invited to go to lunch on Sunday by some nice people from church who are around our age. The couple that invited us has a baby too! Although this doesn't mean my problem is solved, it tells me that God is always listening and he heard my cry that day. As I sat there chatting away to the girl who invited us, watching her baby as he wiped crackers every where, I couldn't help but think that I need to depend on God more often. Later on Sunday, I talked with a friend who I hadn't seen in a year, and guess what! She's pregnant! And . . . I have a wonderful group of friends through this blog, and even though I can't see all of you in person, I know I have people I can talk to and depend on. There's also my friend Eva who reads this blog. She lives in Atlanta and she's pregnant too. We had a great time the last time we met. You're right, we need to go shopping! Amanda too!!! :-)
In other good news, through the girls at church, I learned about a place here that does the 4D ultrasounds. You don't need to go through your doctor, you just call them directly. The coolest thing? They can tell you at 16 weeks what the sex of the baby is. I will be calling them this week . . . :-)

Posted by: Ani at October 10, 2005 02:10 PMI'm so glad it's beginning to look up. I knew it would. Because when I was looking for a friend and feeling lonely in columbus, there you were :) Even though it's a short time, it was precious to me. I definitely would go baby shopping with you...miss you!
Posted by: stef at October 10, 2005 04:17 PMwho else is pregnant that you havent talked to in a while? Anyone I know? I posted a little more on my blog, not that it is ever very interesting, but I put a few pics up! So if they can tell the sex on the baby, that means we will know soon!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!
Posted by: meggie at October 10, 2005 04:49 PMI'm so happy that things are looking up for you, Hannah! I'm sorry that you felt sad, but I think that you're right in that God was listening. Best wishes to you! I wish that we lived closer; I REALLY think that we would hit it off. Good night!

Posted by: Melany at October 11, 2005 03:33 AMHey there, sorry to hear that you are feeling down! I wish I could hop on a plane and go baby shopping with you! When I was pregnant I also felt left out, but that was because everyone else had just had their second kid already and we were like the last of the mohicans. You'll be amazed how when those friends of yours move on in life, and suddenly come running back to you because now you're the child rearing guru in the group!
Posted by: Valkyrie at October 11, 2005 06:06 AMYAY!!! God does provide!!
How much is the ultrasound? I wonder if somewhere around here does those! I really want one.
Posted by: girl from florida at October 11, 2005 12:42 PMI'm glad everything is working out for the better! You better be posting those pictures of the 4d ultrasound so we can see!!! =)
Posted by: dazed at October 11, 2005 01:21 PMThey can tell you in 16 weeks? I'm impressed. I hope that what they tell you is what you want to hear.
Best of luck,
Cas
Posted by: cassie-b at October 11, 2005 02:56 PMYAY! That is so exciting! It took me a LONG time to finally find girls here in Dallas that I clicked with. I had met many girls that I liked, but none that you can get close to and have lots in common AND in the same stage of life. But, I have found that once I found one, another came along, and now through them, I have met more and more and now I have lots of wonderful girlies that i adore! It just took lots of time and effort, but patience endured and God is good!
