On Tuesday we went in to have another ultrasound after some significant bleeding a few days before. It was pretty exciting to see all 5 babies there still with strong heartbeats! One of the first views we had of one of the babies showed him waving his arms and legs. Incredible, considering they're only the size of a grape right now (nobody's told me what kind or size of grape, though). I've imbedded just a bit of the sonogram. Toward the end you can see five black oval-ish areas that are the five baby sacs. Pretty incredible.
This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6
