I think that today's date is very thought provoking, so hang in there with me. Number one initiates a couple of thoughts. But the first being Our Heavenly Father. Second being this child I carry. Third being Davy and I as a couple.

Today starts a new year one filled with promise and hope. I have to say that last year also started with promise and hope...and probably every other year when we sit back and think about it. At the beginning of 2010 we knew that the year would be an amazing one for us because we were going to get to try to have a baby. Just being able to try for a child was a miracle, something that we had accepted as a non-possibility was now coming true. And when we got pregnant so quickly, what a blessing that was. We were beyond the moon excited, but that excitement soon turned to extreme heartache when I miscarried. Reliving that time makes me take pause and see what an amazing, loving, comforting, all knowing, and powerful God that we have. During that time I could feel it, but also was so comforted by that. The relationship that grew out of that is something that I am thankful for 2010 about. It prepared me, and continues to prepare me for what is ahead. I know that it makes me even more thankful for this child that will be here in a matter of days. No matter what is ahead for him my love is only a fraction of the love that our God has for each and everyone of us. This child is His child, and the comfort that gives me makes the ups and downs of this pregnancy seem like nothing. Lastly the double ones (11) makes me think of my marriage. Two singular beings that together finish off the equation made with the first two ones. Not only has my relationship grown with God, but has overwhelmed me with my husband. This year could have torn us apart but with God at the front, and the blessing of this child it has really solidified us. I can't wait to see what is ahead, and no matter what it may be my ones are going to be the things that get me through. Much love and hope to you all. Happy New Year!!!
