So... I am 20 weeks now. I am halfway through my pregnancy and so thankful to Christ for upholding Jed and I thus far. We went for our 20 week ultrasound today and it was so fun to see him move and squirm and see that he has all the right parts. It's amazing to me how God knits them together so perfectly. He is now 12oz and the size of a small cantaloupe. Actually probably a very large cantaloupe. Turns out Jedidiah is going to be a BIG boy. His head and his legs measure in the 85th percentile. I guess his is going to big like his daddy. We hope to post pics from the video soon. Again thanking the Lord for His sustaining grace and looking forward to the next 20 weeks...

Halfway there...
"And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power." Hebrews 1:3

Welcome
Welcome to our blog! The purpose of this blog is two-fold:
• Primarily and most importantly, we want to encourage you to look to Christ. We plan to do this by posting scripture, quotes, hymns and what the Lord is teaching us in His Word.
• Second, we want to use this blog to update you on the growth of our little family. Lord willing, we are expecting a baby boy in September. His name will be Jedidiah Edward Minton. After many months of discussion, this is where we have landed. Joel and I love the meaning of the name, it means “ beloved of the Lord” and can be found in 2 Samuel 12:25. Edward is everyone on both sides of our families middle name, so that was an easy choice. We are very excited and can’t wait to the meet the little guy. As of now, he is the size of a sweet potato and weighs 6oz. I’m hoping to grow him a lot bigger than that now that I have my appetite back. After a few weeks of being pretty sick, I am now eating like a horse. We are looking forward to God knitting him together over the next 5 months. Our pray for him is that he would trust in Christ and would say with Him “ Upon You I was cast from birth, You have been my God from my mother’s womb.” Psalm 22:10.
So stay tuned to check out what is going on at the Mintons!
