My heart is so overwhelmed with emotion at being able to finally write this blog post. I am so humbled at how gracious our God is to work a miracle in our lives and give us the gift of this wonderful child. There are so many things I want to say but I will leave you with a letter I wrote to our unborn child the evening we found out our exciting news. We are so thrilled to share this journey and adventure with all of you and welcome your advice, love, and support.

My dearest daughter or son,
Just a
few minutes ago my entire life changed because I found out about you. I’ve
never stared at anything so hard as I did that pregnancy test because it just
didn’t seem possible that you were real. Everyone was telling us we may never
meet you but God knew all along what a special and sweet surprise you would be.
You
have to know that my first thoughts were ones of gratitude to such a good and
gracious God to let me carry you. I thought about how we would tell your Grammy
and Granddaddy that you existed. I thought about feeling you kick for the first
time. I thought about how sweet it would be to watch you and Addie and Molly, Leah, Daniel (and soon Jack!) grow up so close in age and distance to each other. I thought
about how much your daddy loves you now and how that can only grow more as you
get older.
I can’t
wait to meet you. I can’t wait to hear your voice and see your sweet smile. I
can’t wait to hold your hand and pray over you. I can’t wait to teach you about
the God of the universe that loved us enough to give us you.
So baby
boy, or baby girl, enjoy your time in mommy’s belly. Grow strong and chubby and
healthy. We will see you soon.
Love,
Mommy
