Dear Mary Lee

A letter to our blessing from above:

Dear Mary Lee,

Mommy and daddy love you so much! We are so blessed to call you our daughter! Back in January, when mommy and daddy found out that God had answered our prayers of wanting a child, we were excited beyond belief. You see, mommy and daddy had fasted and prayed for days, along with our church. We fasted and prayed that God would bless us with a child in His perfect timing. During this time of fasting and prayer, God told us (through Pastor Pat) that our prayers of having a child would be answered. We were in amazement at just how awesome God truly is! When we confirmed that you were in fact on your way, we felt that an overwhelming blessing had just been given to us. You are going to be brought into this world in a few short days, and we cannot wait for your arrival!

Here are a few things mommy and daddy want you to know:

We will tell you about Jesus.

We will always love you beyond belief.

We will take care of you.

We will pray for you.

We will pray with you.

We will protect you.

We will be there for you.

We will read the Bible with you.

We will teach you.

We love you so much! We cannot wait to hold you in our arms. We will welcome you into this world soon, and we cannot wait to bring you home!

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy

She's Coming!

I went to the doctor today for my 38 week appointment. Mary Lee is measuring rather large, so Dr. Heath scheduled an induction for Tuesday! We have to be at the hospital at 8:00 Monday night, so I can be started on medication to soften my cervix. I will start pitocin Tuesday morning at 5:00! What a blessing! Griffin and I are soooooooo excited and ask for your continued prayers in the coming days! We cannot wait to meet our precious daughter!
