Blake and I received the most precious gift for Christmas this year. We will meet this little angel in August. What a sweet anniversary present this will be! I can't even begin to express the love and gratitude I feel in my heart for my God. I don't think the fact that I am with child really set in until yesterday--our first appointment :) It will be a day we will NEVER forget. For starters, Blake and I got lost on the way to the appointment. Imagine that. If you know us, you know it is not uncommon. We even had our trusty TomTom that Blake's family gave him for Christmas and still managed to get lost. I am almost ashamed to even admit we got lost but in the midst of the madness--us both frantic that we would be late for our first appointment--we both just looked at each other and laughed. Oh, how I love that boy. So...we arrive at the doc..with no time to spare...I was pretty nervous. When they called us back, the nerves stayed in the lobby. I immediately fell in love with the entire staff. Everyone that I came in contact with was so nice and made us feel right at home. Finally, it was time to meet our doctor. I knew I loved him as soon as he walked in the door and asked us, "Which one of you is pregnant?." He had a wonderful sense of humor and made both of us feel so comfortable. After the meet and greet and the run down of what was about to occur, it was time to see our baby! Words cannot express the feelings that came over me when I heard that heart beating and saw our little butterbean on that screen. I wish I could have caught a picture of the look on Blake's face. Just that look alone brought me to tears. Right then and there,our lives changed. It hit us that we were going to become parents. We are having a baby! I have never felt so close to God in my life. I am well aware that anything good in my life, anything good inside of me is my heavenly Father. I don't deserve anything good in this life, and yet he continues to bless me and my family. I just pray that Blake and I can let His love shine through us for our child and that we can be exactly who we need to be for this little one. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this exciting journey.
