As many know now..Tay and I have been blessed with the wonderful opportunity to bring a little person into this world.
I have always look forward to being a mother.
I feel immensely blessed that the Lord is entrusting us with a sweet baby boy.
Me at 20 weeks- half way!
We waited the day anxiously to find out what our baby was.
Tay was so cute the morning we found out, he hugged me and said, "HAPPY SEX DAY!"
Tay and I decided to find out privately, I didn't want to share our special moment with the doctors that I don't even know. I am so glad we did because I was so SHOCKED! Tay and I were very positive the little person in me was a girl. Most of our family also thought it was a girl. Tay's mom had made me a few baby GIRL blankets and got me some girl outfits. We just all had a feeling it was a girl.
So my mind set was on baby GIRL.
When Tay and I looked at the picture and saw it was a BOY I was speechless.
I thought, "no, I am supposed to have a girl"
I had dreams about our little girl and I "knew" that she would come to us.
Well I guess that our little girl will come just not this time around;)
After seeing how ecstatic Tay was about having a son, it made me very happy and excited to have our first child be a BOY.
I love this sweet little boy of ours so much.
I have always had a special love for my children that are not here on this earth yet.
Now being pregnant I love feeling the little movements of him, knowing he is healthy makes me feel so GRATEFUL for this miracle that I get to witness happen in August with my husband by my side.
My perspective of things have really changed. I realize as Tay and I pray to prepare ourselves the best way we can for our child is to bring the spirit into our home. I want my baby to feel our love but also the peace of the spirit.
We have decided to do this by listening to uplifting music (When I thought we were having a girl I used to sing, "Walk Tall Your a Daughter of God" EVERYDAY, poor little man..now I have changed it to..SON of God). I know music effects me so I am sure it affects my little man.
We also have started back up on FHE (Family Home Evening)
I made it official by making us a chart.
FHE has been such a blessing to Tay and I. My favorite part is singing hymns together.
I can already tell the difference this has brought into our lives. Taking time out from our busy Monday to spend time with each other and focus on God and his teachings.
I look forward to the blessings, hardships, rewards, and joyful moments that will all be entailed as being a parent. Most people think we are giving up "freedom" but I believe we are opening the next wonderful chapter of our lives.
