It's still mind-blowing to me that we're on this journey, that God would call us on this special path. And at this point, it's still a secret to the outside world (I giggle every time I think about when some of our other friends and family will finally get to read this. Surprise!). But what I think is even sweeter is knowing how much this little one is already loved.
We actually received our first ever baby card and it's the most precious thing ever! I'm hoping to laminate them and put them on a metal ring so Baby can see how loved they were before they were even conceived. But what is even sweeter are the words on the inside- "they are going to be blessed and welcomed by all in this loving family". Knowing that our little one is being prayed for and anticipated by our family is overwhelming!
Please know that we are on a roller coaster of emotions. Some days are blissful with the anticipation of what's to come and other days are sad with memories of lost little ones. Some days have moments of confusion and anger as we lose sight of God's plan for us and others are overwhelming with the fear of this process. But please know that every time you pray for us, you strengthen us and ease our fears! Every time you ask how we're doing, you're helping us work through the emotional side of this process. And please know that we understand that we're not the only ones in this great adventure and are here to answer your questions and concerns!
It takes a village to raise a child and you are in our "village" for a reason. There is something special about you that God chose you to be in our corner. Derek and I already know how incredible you are and we can't wait for our little one to see why.
