My Cup Runneth Over!

Oh, what a difference a year makes! I was reflecting this week about what was going on with us a year ago around Thanksgiving. This post pretty much sums it up... I was really so depressed and stuck in the saddest fog last year.

I remember typing that post, thinking to myself "I'll write that I'm thankful for this infertility, but I'll never actually feel it." Boy was I wrong! I know that sounds crazy, but I really am thankful for that time in the valley. We serve a MIGHTY God! God was so very faithful to me with His encouragement through the Word, my sweet husband, family, and fantastic friends.

I have an endless list of things I'm thankful for this year. My Father in heaven and His gift of salvation! How great is His love for me and you! His patience that endured a lot of stubborn lessons with me. His mercies in providing for us in a million ways. Lord Jesus, Your love is better than life!

My fantastic husband! I could go on and on about how blessed I am to have him. He is really the backbone of this family and I just couldn't have done this last year without him.

Obviously, I'm so thankful for my sweet baby boy squirming in my belly! I am truly overwhelmed by how much I already love him. I cannot wait for April to get here! I'm dying to snuggle him, kiss his little cheeks, stare at his sweet little face, and tell him how long I waited for him. I already feel like I'm getting to know him. I never understood when mom's talked about the bond you feel even when they're in the womb, but I totally get it now. Every morning I drink apple juice while I'm debating over breakfast and he loves it! It's like he's awake, happy and kicking. In the car, he always does tons of little kicks and punches. At night, when we watch TV he is super active and usually does a good full turn. It's crazy. We posted his little ultrasound picture on the refrigerator and I just love starring at that little profile.

This year has not been perfect, but my God has been faithful through it all!

My cup runneth over!

Happy Thanksgiving my sweet little man! Thankful just doesn't seem like enough to describe how overjoyed I am that you are here. ...your daddy too. I love all your little kicks and turns! I'm dying for daddy to be able to feel you going at it...hopefully soon. Daddy and I were being silly this morning singing Christmas songs to you and you just kicked away. I'm also excited to report that you kick wildly after I eat Willy's...which is a lot...as you know. I love you sweet baby boy and I can't wait to kiss your sweet face! So many people are praying for you and are waiting anxiously for your spring arrival. You are God's biggest blessing to us!
