Sharing the News

Well, I haven't written in a long time.

We went to the Doctor on Tuesday - June 22nd. We saw our little bean!! :) And there was a HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!!!! :) We have never been blessed with either of these things. The heartbeat wasn't quite as fast as they like but the doctor also said that it was lucky to see a heartbeat at all this early. We go back the 28th to check that the heartbeat is increasing! :)

So I've decided to publish these posts because we have told our families and the one friend I know who knows of this blog I also told! :) So no worries about people seeing this blog! :) We are still keeping our news secret from most but I have been getting sick EVERY morning for a week. SO, since we went home this past weekend and my family would hear me getting sick we just decided to go ahead and share the news with our immediate family! It is so nice to have shared! It makes it a little more real and I get to be a little more excited. John and I have the best families in the world!! Beyond supportive!! We love them very much!! We also have AMAZING friends!! VERY FEW know of our news right now but we know those few are praying for us and sharing in our joy!! I love it! :)

My life is so amazing right now! The next couple weeks are going to fly by and then it will be the beginning of August and we'll be able to shout it to everyone that we are pregnant!! :) John just keeps saying - lets get there first...lets get there first! :)

Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing John and I! We feel very loved by our family and friends and You! Continue to have this little one grow inside of me! Help me be able to povide a good home inside of me until he/she needs to come out! Lord, I pray for all my friends who are getting ready to begin their journeys as mommies. L, C, and K are all due within the next month or two!! I pray you grant them peace of mind as they wrap up their pregnancies and that you continue to bless them and their families! Lord, I also pray for my other pregnant friends who are not getting ready to have their babies in the next couple months but who are still cooking their little ones! Continue to help provide them with what they need!
Lord, I pray for my Grandma as she prepares to attend her brother's funeral tomorrow. Please help my family handle Nick's passing.
Lord, I thank you for the blessing of a friend's babies being born early and yet being able to go home so fast!!! Lord you are amazing!! Continue to bless this friend and bless their new family!!
Lord, I pray these things in Jesus' name!! Amen!
