A Very Exciting Day!

Today was a very special day for us. This is the day that we found out that we will soon become parents. I cannot explain the flood of emotion that goes through me every time I think of that. This is such a dream come true for me, and something I have wanted for so long.

I am thinking a lot about those families that have had to go through miscarriages and my heart breaks because I love this baby already... it does not even have a heart beat yet and I love it. How is that possible? Another group of people that I am thinking about a lot today are non-believers. I do not understand how someone can see a pregnant woman and not believe in God, what a miracle! I am so grateful to God that I can view this pregnancy from the view of a believer and enjoy His wonderful miracle inside me everyday!

I am still in a bit of shock when I tell people. Me being the planner I am wants to go home today and start clearing out the room upstairs and get things ready. But this is one of those good things come to those that wait moments right?

I am not worried about being a parent I know that God will lead us in the correct directions with that. And after 15 years of working with children I think I will be ok! But I am sure that if "it" is anything like either of us when we were little "it" will come up with some new things I have never seen before!

My most exciting thing to think about is, boy or girl? What color/kind of hair? who eyes? all that kind of stuff... Please continue praying for us. We are asking for a safe and healthy pregancy that will end wiht a happy healthy baby!

We cannot wait to meet you little one, but for now you just cook in there peacefully and we will see you in March!

    I am so happy for you both...and the baby. Reading your post reminds me of the excitement I also felt when I found out I was pregnant for Kevin 29 years ago. Thank you for sharing...it was beautiful and expressive. I will keep you both in my prayers and can't wait to share in your joy. Can I be "Aunt Linette"? Love you way, L
