New Chapter!!!!

The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad - Psalm 126:3

For the past two years I have been stuck in a rut (so to speak). The pregnancy "bible" also known as What to Expect When You're Expecting is used by many, kept in purses, on bedside tables and in cars. For some pregnant women it sits beside the actual Bible as it is that important. Since 2008, I have been unable to pass this chapter:


This morning, I woke up with a smile on my face. I looked over at Larry (bad breath, crusty eyes and all) and shouted "I CAN FINALLY TURN THE PAGE!!!!!!!!". For two years there has been a ratty pink post it on the new chapter (I removed it for the picture) and I have willed, begged, and prayed to get to this chapter:

He has done great things and we are eternally grateful! I am 23 weeks today and I am grateful! I have never been able to get to this chapter and to look at this page makes it real. Viability is now so close, I can smell it! I cannot wait to wake up next Sunday (Lord willing) and shout "WE MADE IT!!!!!!".

Thank you for all the prayers, words of encouragements and good wishes.

Awaiting my expected end,
Marie
