I am a suborn, I am a planner, I am organized, I like things done my way, I don't like changes, I am selfish, and I am prideful. I plan things out just perfect, and God smiles and says, "That's not my plan." Man, am I ever so thankful that his plans are better than mine.I made these plans about my life that I just knew God would agree with. I would get married, have kids, and be a kindergarten teacher. I praise God daily for bringing me my husband, even if I was only 22 when we got married. I thank the Lord for changing my heart for a deep love for children with special needs. I am beyond thankful that God chose my husband and I to be parents to the little one growing inside of me.. even though we have only been married for (almost) 2 years. God is good, His timing his perfect, and His plans are far greater than any of the ones I could think of in my small human mind.
My husband I and found out were were going to have a baby in February. I took the tests, and went downstairs with this journal in hand. The first pages talk about how your baby is a gift from God. I knew I wanted my husband to read that part first. He was beyond excited.
Next, it was time to tell my parents. We took them out to eat, and they thought they were opening up Valentines day presents from Jeff and I. Soon, they realized.. they were going to be grandparents!
Our Texas parents also opened a present full of bath stuff. That way when we travel, we will not have to pack all of the bath goodies, and our parents were so excited! First time grandparents for both sets of parents. How FUN!
We then told all of our siblings, they had a special package to open. Each one with their own special saying... They are beyond excited to be aunts and uncles for the first time!
We then called our grandparents, and told them they had to keep it a secret :)
We told our best friends by asking them to be our baby's Godparents.
At Jeff's birthday party, he opened up some bibs. This revealed the secret to some of our closest friends and family. Then we called those who couldn't make it. Jeff also had a very creative way to tell the church. It was a big surprise and fun to hear all the gasps around the sanctuary. :)
We are also sending out Easter cards to our family and friends that contain some of these pictures :)
I was eight weeks now. If you keep following the blog, there will be lots more baby updates weekly ;)
