So thankful

As I lay in bed this morning, rubbing my tiny baby bump, I was overwhelmed with gratitude.  Our infertility journey was so long, and there were times we were not even sure I would be able to carry a baby.  We researched options, like adoption and weighed out what each option would mean for our family.  While there are many wonderful options out there to create families, to have the ability to nurture, care for and love this child from the very beginning is such a precious gift.  I get to control the prenatal care.  Dave and I daily get to speak to my little baby bump and tell this child how love and wanted they are.  Nana and Papa, auntie's and other dear friends from the beginning are on this journey with us - getting to speak love over this child while in the womb.  Thank you Lord that we get to experience this!
