one month!

One month from today I will be holding my baby boy! My mom is flying in today for a nice visit and to help me do some last minute things before Anthony arrives. I appreciate her SO much! Now that I am having my own child I realize all the sacrifices she made for me. All of the little things I just expected her to do...wow I already am looking at life different!.. and I am so thankful for how much my mom cared for me. What a journey this will be!

a little face?

With everday that passes I can't help but dream of what my baby will look like.I am in such amazement of a person that has half of each of our genetic's. I look at our baby pictures and try to imagine what his little face will look like and what kind of personality he will have. It all feels so unreal,looking at my belly I sometimes think "there can't be a baby in there" it is just so unreal. What a miracle life truly is!

Well..here I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! In 4 weeks I will be holding my baby boy in my arms! It has a been a really long pregnancy full of excitement, joy,nausea,exhaustion,back ache's..and waiting. I have been blessed beyond what I have prayed for and trusted God for! I have held to his promises and he has been so faithful even though I have failed him many times since those promises were first given to me. It has been a long road and now I am finally reaping a harvest after not giving up. James 1:4 is what I have held in my heart for the last 7 years and refused to let go of it. Waiting is such a huge part of our lives yet it's one of the hardest things to do. I am so grateful for the process God brings us through! It has made me who I am today. This baby that the Lord has given Aaron and I is such a GIFT!
