Baby On Board

I have been behind on updating my blog and haven't even had the time to blog about our newest addition and most wonderful blessing....a baby! Yes, we are 13 weeks pregnant with a precious child. I cannot even begin to explain the joy in my heart as well astonishment of the whole situation. I say astonishment for many reasons.

First, I never ever thought I could get pregnant so easily or quickly considering all of the health issues I have faced over the past five years. Thyroid cancer in 2007, abnormal cells followed by biopsy in 2008, and then more abnormal cells followed by actual surgery on my cervix only a short year ago in July 2011. I must say God truly had is hand in this and has amazed me as usual. Second, due to my health Colt and I decided we would leave things in Gods hands and just enjoy our time together. We never imagined just a short month after I arrived in Korea we would find out I was pregnant! Third, because we are going to be PARENTS! What is not astonishing and scary about that?Your first baby, first miracle, first life that you made, first biggest responsibility you will ever have, first everything!

Never the less God amazed us both and we quickly became parents a lot sooner than we could of ever imagined. JOY is all I feel when I think about our baby. BLESSED is all I say when people ask about our child and when I pray over our baby daily. Some couples try for years to have kids and go through tons of heart ache, doctors bills, and operations to try and have kids everyday. Because God granted us this blessing I remind myself everyday that I want to honor Him and raise this child to the best of my ability and with my eyes set on Him as I do it. Sure I will fail, sure I will struggle, sure some days I wont know the answers but I trust in Him. I cannot wait to experience the biggest yet most rewarding challenge I have ever faced.
