Footprints

One great thing about seeing a fertility specialist- we get to go to the doctor everyweek or as often as I need to in order to not be anxious about the progress of our baby. This week was our second appointment and was an amazing moment for Trav and I to share with each other.

My latest ultrasound made us think Footprints in the Sand. As we watched the screen and listened to the delicate hearbeat of OUR baby (such a significant miracle measuring the size of one single rice grain), we saw what looked like a footprint which had been carefully placed inside me. As this poem reminded us, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your time of trial and suffering"...God was there to carry us through; in that room as a new family, we thanked Him.

Our baby is so tiny and yet already so perfect! We love our baby so much and are so thankful for such a loving Lord to provide such a joyful gift.
