Cheers to the New Year!

We had a really nice Christmas 2009! Your Daddy really did spoil me...new coach bag, make up, perfume! Plus we had Grandmammy & Granddaddy w/ your Auntie and your cousins here w/ us...so it was a happy day! We kept thinking that maybe... just maybe...you will be here w/ us by next Christmas...or soon on the way! Christmas is a day to celebrate family and love along w/ the true meaning of the Holiday...which is Jesus' birth. We are so thankful to have the Prince of Peace in our lives...especially during a year that brought some sorrow...we have been able to hold on to the joy! That is such a blessing!

I LoVE all Holidays but especially Christmas and New Years! We are looking forward to a new year full of possibilities and of course full of promise. We look to the Lord from who all blessings come. May You protect us, keep us safe, healthy and happy in this coming year. May we work hard and reach new goals and achievements. May we be successful in areas that we hand over to You for guidance and prosperity. May we be a little closer to beginning our family. :)

Happy New Year little one to be!

Daddy in the Making :)

My sweet baby....I want to tell you how wonderful your father to be is and will be with you.  I was very sick this past weekend with the stomach bug and he took such good care of me.  He was so patient and so concerned and so thoughtful, much like he always is, but it was never more appreciated.  His inherent goodness is what makes me so confident that he will be so devoted and committed to you.  You will be so special to him and I know you will always know and feel that.  Your father loves God with all of his heart and makes him a priority, I know he will show you that as well.  Do you know how lucky you are to have a father who loves the Lord?  We were both fortunate to be raised by parents who showed us the importance of a christian home.  We will continue that kind of upbringing in our own home and dedicate your life to Jesus.  Because you will be a gift from Him and so you belong to Him first. I can't wait to see if you'll have your daddy's puppy dog eyes...and dimple.  I hope you will but you will be perfect just as you are.

With love,

mommy

Ready or not...it's time to plan!

There is a wish in my heart to someday have a baby.  I didn't realize until recently that my "someday" should be sooner rather than later.  As my doctor so kindly informed me that I am getting closer to the "at risk" pregnancy age.  She just shook her head at the thought of so many women in their thirties thinking that they have all the time in the world to start a family.  I could count myself as one of them...I suppose.  I'm thirty three...a young thirty three in my mind and hearing all of the time from others' that I look so much younger than my age...I guess I view age as just a number.  However, when it comes to having babies...it doesn't matter what the mirror tells you...your biological clock is ticking away.  So with that in mind, my husband and I have agreed to stop the birth control in February.  We have a plan!  And the "someday" is closer than ever and I pray with all my heart that we are suitable and good parents.  We're scared and excited at the thought of being parents...it's a frightening concept.  To have someone completely and solely relying on you.  The mistakes you make in life are no longer just your own...you have to live your life with them in mind.  It changes things...but for the better is what I imagine.  If God entrusts a baby or two in this lifetime to my husband and I, it will be such a gift.  I pray with all my heart that I'm worthy of such a gift...a treasure...a child of my very own.   And so the adventures of baby making will soon begin!  To my unborn child...I can remember hearing stories from my parents...they would recall a time that was before "I was even a thought"....well until now you were not a thought in our hearts yet...but now sweet angel you're in our hearts and you're a thought of what is to come...we pray for you even now.  Until your birthdate...xoxo
