...clothed me with joy... I will give give thanks forever

I have been missing the blog world and all my friends updates! We are growing and growing and loving every moment. I still wake up each morning in awe of God's goodness in the creation of these babies. I'm almost 15 weeks and we found out we are having atleast ONE BOY! Baby B was being too still, but hoping a Coke on the way to our appointment next week will get her/him dancing around.

 I told my mom the other day that our 6year journey seems like it happened and was over in the blink of an eye. I remember days-weeks-months when I would think about how looooooong this journey felt, how I would be so sad at times, so alone, so impatient. And although I tried very hard to praise Him in the storm, it felt like the sun would never shine. I feel like the path God had us on was carefully orchestrated (which it was!) and that He knew along (which He did!) that we would get to this place in our lives and the waiting in and of itself would not matter. The lessons matter, the time I spent on my knees to Him matter, His timing matters, the love He poured onto me matters, these babies appointed time for life matters, but the actual time.it.took. doesn't matter anymore. Make any sense whatsoever?

Psalm 30:11-12
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.

Time flies. and how exciting that you know you are having a boy!! your house will become a jungle gym, but those boys love their mommas! :) Too funny about baby B. looks like B is the modest one of the group.ha Still praying for you and your babies! Can't wait to hear what your combo will be, and the names you have picked out!

  2. While pretty much everyone is thankful for the their children...you will have an extreme appreciation for every single thing these kids ever do! I think it makes the harder days a little easier, because you can reflect on how desperate you once were to hear those cries! What blessed babies to have you, Cable and Taylor! And love the baby bump pic by the way. keep it coming :)
