Emotions: Happy and excited!! :) Thankful for this little blessing! Looking forward to meeting him! Almost time to meet him!

So 1 year ago today was when I went to one of my doctors (in GR) and what I didn't want to hear....I heard. That I most likely wasn't ovulating and so she didn't know if we would be able to have kids or not. I knew that with all my health issues that I've known about since I was 19 had that possibility but it doesn't seem as real when at the time I was 19 I had no boyfriend and marriage and having babies was still in the little distant future and my being an optimist hoped for the best and did one of the "that happens to other people...not me" things. I was crushed 1 year ago today....I cried....and I couldn't wait for Andy to get home from work so I could be in his arms. Now 1 year later we are waiting any day for our precious little boy to arrive!! His due date is the 28th! I hope he comes soon because I can't wait to meet him and hold him in my arms and kiss him and tell him how much I love him! I am so thankful and blessed that God has given us this baby!! Such a treasure and sweet gift to cherish! God has been so very gracious and has continue to give us strength! :) Thank you to those who have been praying for us and him throughout the journey!

By God's grace,
