Well it is January! Mike and I are waiting patiently for our niece, Avery, to arrive. She is due to come on January 24th but can really come any day now. I am so excited to become an Aunt! And Mike will make a really cool Uncle. We are just continuing in our own journey with our little one. On January 24th we have our next appointment with our doctor. There we will schedule our time for the next ultrasound and we'll be possibly able to find out what we are expecting to have. As of right now the we have a split jury on what the gender will be. Mike's parents each defending the other side. Mike and I have started the slow preparation for the baby's arrival. We are going through the room that will be his/hers and started preparing it. Our house has only 2 rooms so up until now we have used the future nursery as a storage room for Mike's old toy boxes from when he was just a tyke and as an office/spare bedroom. Basically it was a "I don't know what this room will be" room. So we are going through the boxes Mike's mom sent with us and organizing stuff so that we are ready when we are able to start painting and can really enjoy this process.
I guess that is why God had humans wait 9 months for this blessing to arrive. I mean it could literally take that long for most people to just wrap their minds around having a child, let alone prepare for them. But in the same breath I am surprised that we do have to wait, I am not an extremely patient person-I just want to meet this little one! It is really trying to see how my body is changing without the end in site as clearly as it will be in the next coming months. I, and I am sure Mike is too, am nervous, excited, feeling unprepared, all these emotions run through me on a very regular basis. Then you throw a job, family, all the rest on top and I can see that patience is what is being taught and learned right now.
So I am off my soap box and am ready to continue with my day. Please continue to pray for us as we go down this road and prepare for the biggest change our 25 years of life has ever experienced.
Love,
Amy and Mike!
