One Month

Baby Love's official due date is

ONE MONTH from today!!!

I realize that a due date often means

nothing. Walker was almost two weeks

late and he came out a BIG, plump

bundle of L-O-V-E (8 lb. 13 oz.).

He was so happy and slept all through

the night the first two nights at the

hospital. Hadlee was two weeks early and

a TINY, delicate little ANGEL (6 lb. 14 oz.).

But, the little dumplin was not breathing

and she scared us to death!

Who knows when Baby Boy Love

will actually make his arrival or

what size he will be or how he will be?!?

Whenever or Whatever or However...
WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!

We haven't seen the Love Bug since

his 20 week sonogram, but boy have we all felt

him move! Walker always seems to get

a kick, Hadlee loves to give him kisses,

and Daddy likes to talk to the little stinker!

Big Bro and Big Sis hope that their Little

Bro is as much fun as the baby blue

balloons from his shower have been...

Last night after the kids had gone to bed

when I went to turn off the Christmas tree lights,

I noticed two presents that I had not

wrapped under the tree.

I looked down to find a gift with a tag

that says "To Baby From Walker".

Walker had wrapped this himself...

Then I noticed a blue sack with wrapping

paper as the tissue with a tag that says

"To Baby From Walker and Haddie".

It's filled with their old DVD's...like

the Wiggles. I had nothing to do with this!

Tears rolled down my face...

I am blessed with such sweet children who

already love and think about their baby brother!

Daddy Love has amazed me working so hard

on the new office/shop. He is desperate to

get everything finished so he can devote

all of his attention to the baby and us.

He has spent many a late nights out there

doing stuff on his own to cut down on building

costs. My Baby Daddy is ALL MAN and I am

so proud of him and how hard he works for us.

I never doubt Troy's love for our family or me.This is such a sweet time to be expecting a baby.

I hear songs or read stories about Mary and I am

brought to tears thinking about her

and what it must have been like

for her to carry and give birth to Jesus.

WOW. There are just no words.

I am honored that God chose me

to mother the child I am carrying.

I am often overwhelmed with

anxiety worrying over the health of this little

baby boy and over how his sister and

brother are going to handle the transition.

I am saying lots of prayers, that's for sure!

There is so much unknown

with having a baby...

when he will arrive, what size

he will be, what he will look like,

if he'll be healthy, etc.

But I do know one thing for

certain ~

this little baby will be

LOVED

so very, very much!!!
