I felt you!

Two nights ago, I felt you move for the first time. It was the second most amazing feeling I have ever had, to feel the life that was created by the hand of God. (The first amazing feeling I had was putting a ring on your mother's finger) You, my sweet daughter are a blessing to us from Him.

Your life is precious and has touched many already and will touch many more in the months and years to come. Your mother and I love you very much and are so excited for you to come into this world. As you will soon see, this world is not perfect, but it was perfectly made. I look so forward to holding you, picking you up, and teaching you about life. We are so excited God picked us to be your parents. Although we won't be perfect, our love for you will be perfect and never ending.

PS: Please forgive us for teasing you with the flashlight- we are just so thrilled to feel you. Keep rockin' baby girl. We love you.

Our Government's Assault on LIFE

The White House seems to believe that baby at 20 weeks is essentially not human and can be killed freely.

At 18 weeks, my unborn child has a heartbeat of 120 bpm, arms, legs, a face and functioning brain. In 2 more weeks, our baby girl will be even more developed. The White House's statement is sickening in regards to vetoing a bill that would prevent abortions after 20 weeks!

USA Today- The White House issued a veto threat Monday, calling the bill an "assault on a woman's right to choose."

Voice up people!

It's a....?

Words really can't express the excitement we feel. I'm looking forward to daddy/daughter dates and dances, soccer, and Angel games with our little girl.

 

I'm still learning the husband roll, but I'm sooo looking forward to the dad roll. I couldn't have picked a better partner to do it with. I'm truly blessed.

Mossberg, or Remington?

So this is 30?

I can’t believe I just turned 30! Nothing against you 30+ year olds out there, but I’m finding it hard to believe that I’ve been on this earth for 3 decades. I find myself researching life insurance policies, retirement plans and ways to minimize, or eliminate any debt left to my family once I’m gone. It’s interesting, you spend your adolescence and teen years preparing for adulthood. Once you get there, you’re planning your exit strategy.

Life is short. Life is precious. I need to step back, take one day at time and not get caught up in worrying about the future.  I need to remember what’s important while I’m on this earth- faith and family. If I keep my focus there, everything will fall into place. We got a baby on the way! (...blog to follow...)
