Today Larry and I got to see an ultrasound of our little BOY! To watch his small hands and feet moving, to see him rest sideways (just the way his daddy does) when he tired himself out...to now feel him moving inside me too, as of this week...how can one express the absolute joy of life?
It seems so natural to try and envision the future with our little boy. Watching him laugh and splash in a creek, holding his hand as he learns to walk, smiling as he gains a point for his team in a high school sport...However, only God can truly picture what life will be like with our little treasure. Only HE could possibly know what our trials and joys and adventures will be with him. I've learned repeatedly that His visions so far surpass mine...and in them lies the greatest peace and happiness for our new little family. How awesome it is to have a God who cares personally to knit together this little person inside me, place His hand on his future, and prompt me to be the type of mother I need to be for him.
Meanwhile, Larry is smiling like he just won the lottery...and I think, in a way, we both did.

I discovered this through your FB...or maybe I forgot about it!
Yes, I know how you feel! Sometimes it is utterly overwhelming when the reality of the little life inside hits me.
Oh, how exciting!
