I cannot believe we have made it this far!

      It has been a long and exhausting 8 months.   The beginning of this year didn't bring much hope of us starting our family, but now I realize it was all in God's timing.   As I am preparing for our little Piper to get here, I cannot help but be grateful for the miracle that God has given to Chris and I.   I will never be more grateful to the Lord for this gift.  I cannot say Thank you to Him enough times.   Patience has not always been my strong suit, however God knew that I would grow closer to him through the waiting period for our little one.   




     Just an update on what is going on in our lives......  Christopher and I are currently both working full-time and using our free time to prepare for Piper.   We found out that because of a condition that I have Piper Elizabeth will make her arrival around Thanksgiving.   We have been very busy this summer spending time with family and friends, and doing some ministry work with puppets at church.   We will be doing a new puppet play next weekend at Homestead Campground.   We are enjoying the wonderful amazing gift of pregnancy (though my hormones are wild).   On this note, we have been blessed to be able to see our baby grow by having a lot of Ultrasounds.  It is absolutely AMAZING to see God take nothing and turn it into such a beautiful thing.   We have just this week been experiencing the amazing yet strange moments where we can see her move from the outside.  :)  Words cannot describe how relieving it feels for her to kick constantly.   She is so active.  We cannot wait for her to get here!
