Spring has sprung!


My heart is so full. The last 12 weeks have been filled with hesitation, excitement, and a lot of nausea! Will and I are thrilled to say WE'RE HAVING A BABY! This September, in the thick of football season, we will have a sweet baby to tote to football games and then basketball games. I don't want to go into too much detail but this baby is a product of pure love and I'm so proud of that. :) Yesterday I went for my 12 week doctor visit and drove home more giddy than ever. Seeing that sweet baby (that no longer resembles an alien) moving all around with a little nose and tiny fingers made me want to squeal in the doctor's office. What a miracle. It is pretty crazy that God has chosen us to be parents to this little bean of a human. I can't imagine how overwhelmed Mary must have felt being pregnant with the Savior of the world. I have always been very emotional over that. Long before I was pregnant, even in high school. God chose her to play a huge role in the greatest love story of all time. That same story (named Jesus) rescued me and saved my life. Jesus changed the whole course of our marriage in September when Will's life was changed forever. I have never known a more authentic love than the love of Jesus. I am so thankful that I get to play a part in this baby's life. I just keeping begging God to prepare us. To prepare us to raise a leader. A leader of this baby's generation. A baby that will be saved at an early age. A leader that will have a part in seeing many souls saved. Kevin and Susan Campbell taught me a lot about praying for and over children. I know how they prayed for their kids so when they'd go out on a date I'd gladly step in and pray over all of those little ones before they fell fast asleep. Then when I had the privilege of  putting the sweetest little twin girls down for nap time 5 days a week I continued on. Then when they caught the whooping cough I really kicked in high gear. I would lay them in their beds and pray out loud that God would give them good rest and take the sickness away. I would just cry and cry. I think E & V starting expecting it as part of the routine. Precious moments with those Campbell and Ross children and it won't be long til I'll be adding more precious moments to the memory books.

Thank you Jesus for the miracle of life.
Thank you friends and family for being excited with us.
Thank you Will for loving me when I can't go to the grocery store,smell food, cook food, or get up to make you breakfast. I'd choose you over and over and over again.
