our baby boy is growing. every day we get closer and closer to what so many said was impossible: a healthy, normal baby. i remember so clearly the day we were told that not having children was something we should "think about". i remember being told that there was a 100% chance our baby would be severely premature ("we might be able to get you to 28 weeks"). i remember telling myself that i was ok with never being able to conceive. and later, i remember asking God to please allow us to conceive and carry a child. after today's ultrasound, jeremy said, "it's hard to believe that after all of this we are going to have a healthy, normal baby." i feel the same way. it's so hard to believe it's happening.
but that's exactly what we and so many others have prayed for. and so far, that's exactly what God is giving us. imagine that...praying for God's will and seeing it happen before your very eyes. it's so amazing to watch it unfold. this has been a long pregnancy, but we have been blessed to see God's plan and His work unfold slowly, week by week. some weeks we have questioned Him; others we have boldly declared our trust in His goodness. every second of this precious child's life has been a gift to us, and we continue to ask Him for more. more time with brooks and with each other. we're not being greedy; but we are praying for even more of the goodness God has shown us, for even more of His blessings. we want everything He has prepared for us, and God's word says to ask for all of it.
it's hard to believe, but it's true. our little boy is healthy. our hearts are overflowing. please continue to pray for God's hand in all three of our lives.
