This is the Miracle

Before you were conceived I wanted you.

Before you were born I loved you.

Before you were here an hour I would die for you.

This is the miracle of love.

Maureen Hawkins 

Making the decision to have a child- its momentous.

It is to decide forever to have your heart go

walking around outside your body.

Elizabeth Stone

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.

PSALM 139:13

From Birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you. 

PSALM 71:6

We have been feeling the little baby boy moving around more and more. Adam was able to feel it for the first time just the other day. As I have been reading and learning about the process that is happening inside of me I have been sharing pieces of interesting information-well, little miracles- with Adam along the way, and we are just in awe of the Creator. The Creator of the entire universe, the one who made the heavens and earth, the originator off all things, is creating our unborn child. I remember when my sweet niece Olivia was born and how the thought of having children was not really a present desire in my life...until this little life came into my life and all of the sudden my capacity to love was deepened and I had no idea of what my heart could do. It has brought so much joy to our lives to watch God change and shape our capacity to love with each day, toward each-other and for this baby. I am so grateful for such a tender, sweet husband who is drawing our little family closer and close to God through this process - and I am so thankful for a God who sees and knows the depths of my scared mother heart and is meeting me right at my greatest need.
