10 Days Ago




I can't believe that 10 days ago I was walking around the mall trying to break my water and having light contractions and scared and nervous about having a baby. I can't believe that this little baby that we now call Aubrey was scrunched up inside my belly and I was getting so tired of feeling heavy and huge and just over pregnancy and ready to hold my little baby. It is so crazy to think about all of my mixed emotions and worries and know that through all of that she is here and beautiful and perfect. The love that you have for your baby after she comes out is so amazing. I was told that it is one of the most spiritual experiences you ever have and I couldn't agree more. I have a renewed understanding and belief that there is only one God who could create such a miracle and do it is such an incredible manner. When I was pushing her out my doctor told me at one point to sit up and look down and I watched her as she came out into the world. What an experience. I will never forget that moment. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Thank you also for your encouragement during pregnancy. I am already realizing that the worry and stress that I thought would be gone after the baby came out and I knew things were ok are only stronger now that she's here and my responsibility. Please continue to pray for her and for us to be good examples and lead her in a life of loving and living for God. What an amazing God we really do have.
