"There's your baby!"

Those were the greatest words I've ever heard from any doctor!  We went for our first ultrasound this weekend and I cannot explain the excitement that overwhelmed me when he said: "there's your baby!"   My husband and I sat there and gazed in amazement!  We saw our little one's heart beating beautifully and the doctor said that the baby was measuring perfectly thus far!  Praise the Lord! Continue to pray that things run smoothly for us and that the baby grows healthy:)  We thank the Lord for His bountiful goodness!  Our official due date is December 10th!  ....Is it winter yet??? :)

Making him or herself known quickly! :)

Exciting things ahead

     Well, I haven't taken the time to blog in a few weeks so I figured I would take a moment to do just that!  A little update on the baby; we're going next week for our first ultrasound to see our little one for the first time!  My Fibromyalgia is really acting up since I'm not on my regular medications.  I thank God for grace, because without it, this would indeed be impossible!  However, He is helping me along with the wonderful husband He has given me who waits on me hand and foot whenever even walking becomes difficult.  I'm so thankful for this opportunity to mother this baby and I believe all the pain and long nights (and days) are worth it!  Especially when I'll have a little bundle of joy in my arms to remind me that it's worth it, in just 8 months! 
     The church is really doing well!  God is blessing left and right and I'm so grateful for all He's doing!  We're having our first ladies meeting (well at least the first one that I'm in charge of)  on May 12th!  I'm really looking forward to it, but please pray that the Lord will guide my thoughts and words and that it will be a great time of blessing!
    Thank you for reading and all of your thoughts and prayers!

Blessed Beyond Measure...

So, my husband and I are annoucing it to the world, for the Lord has blessed us above and beyond all that we could ever ask or think!  We're expecting our first child.  Though life without my medication is already proving to be difficult and painful, I know that the Lord is my strength and He's giving me the grace to make it through!  I know it will all be worth it!  I praise Him for His goodness!  We announced it to our families of course, and yesterday we announced it to our church! They were completely overjoyed! :) I'm so excited and can't wait to meet the little one our Lord has created!!!!
