Sometimes God says "Yes"

Remember the top picture? What a hopeful, blessed, exciting summer we had last year! Words could never express how extremely thankful I was, and how fearful I was, too. I knew I was blessed to be carrying this child, but I also began to wonder if the baby would be healthy, and would make it successfully into the world. Sure enough, he made it just fine, and boy, was his entrance a memorable one! Here he is sitting in the same spot where I stood last summer. As my mother always says, "If only you could have seen this picture then, when you were so miserable!" I also thought God would have mercy on me and send me a girl. I wondered if I would ever know what to do with a little boy. It's funny how God knows EXACTLY what we need and when we are ready for it. He already knew how much I would love this little guy, and how much healing would come from our relationship. God did two awesome things at one time. I can't imagine Drew being a girl! He's much too manly!         I will wait on the Lord...And I will hope in Him. Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! Isaiah 8:17-18.    Oh Lord, You are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago. Isaiah 25:1

Here are some new pics of Drew that I thought were pretty stinking cute. I let him drag out some of our tupperware, pots, and pans, and he loves doing that. He got a little frustrated, I think, when I interrupted him to take a picture! The other two were taken after he enjoyed making a mess out of the lime green popsicle I gave him. I poked holes in the end of it so he wouldn't get any chunks, just the juice, but he still managed to sling the sticky mess all over the place. You have to love a juicy baby!

Blogging?

So I have a few friends who blog, and I have laughed and cried over many posts from Christian bloggers who write about their life struggles and their growth in Christ. I have often thought that I might enjoy blogging, too, as Facebook is not always the best forum for sharing . However, right now there is a small distraction called NURSING SCHOOL which is just taking over my life! So, this will not be a daily blog by any means, but I will try to update it as much as possible as long as it doesn't interfere with my homework or family time.
