What A Sweet Gift!

Good Morning Beloved's!!

I found a link this morning of a sweet group of photographers that get together to help out families who have gotten a prenatal diagnosis that their children will not make it much after birth and they photograph those sweet moments with the babies and parents!!

I was so encouraged by this!! What a blessing it is for those parents to have sweet pictures to look back on.

The Foundation is called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep!

Their mission statement is:

This is God's grace of his gift of "Giving" from others! I am praying for these parents as they grieve the loss of there Little ones BUT, I am praising the Lord that all these sweet babies are totally renewed and in Heaven with Our sweet Savior!

Our Smiley Miracle

Hunter was literally CRACKING himself up during playtime today! It was the sweetest, Most precious thing to hear!!!

When I look at Him all I see is this Perfect baby that Christ created and placed so PERFECTLY in my womb! Praise God!!

Our Smiley Boy!!

Hunter has been such a precious little Miracle to our lives and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be his Momma. The Lord was very sweet to have blessed my womb and given me this precious baby! I am so undeserving. I was never promised a child but the Lord graciously gave me one. I, Often look at Hunter and think "wow, your really mine", "your daddy and I REALLY made you", "the Lord really grew you in my belly".. I can't fathom it at times. All I can do is just whisper "THANK YOU, Jesus. you are far sweeter than I deserve." I sometimes can't fight my tears of my gratitude.(Yes I am sometimes that girl that will just burst into tears when her baby just smiles at her!) I look at Hunter and all I can see is God's love for me and His perfect creative hand . Every inch of Hunter is PERFECTLY created in the image of Christ!

I pray that Jarrod and I live out a Godly example for Hunter. I pray and can't wait for the day that Hunter is sharing his UNDYING love for Christ with everyone he mets!! I want my son to be strong in the Lord. I don't want him to be afraid to share the truth and Love of Christ!

my short comings.....

I daily think about how I don't share my Savior enough. I fall short and It makes my heart ache that while I have the TRUE word of God and I don't share it, in fear of rejection! But, then there are people who have false doctrine that are out there sharing with people and They are so "Loud and Proud" about it. My heart aches that there are sooo many people being led astray because I am FEARFUL of being rejected. I am opening myself up to you and being vulnerable in hopes that I will have friends who will daily keep me accountable of this. My heart desires more than anything to PROCLAIM, Jesus' name!!

I didn't plan on this being a "heart on my sleeve" moment but I'm thankful it was! Please keep Praying that I can be a voice for Christ!!

Speechless Saturday!

Roll Polly!!

Hunter rolled over from Back to front for the first time on Yesterday (February 18th!!) I am sooo stinking proud of him!

We had our evaluation with Hope Haven (which we loved so much) this past monday and they gave us some really neat things to incorporate into our playtime and one of them was to show him how to roll from back to front. We did it about 3 times in the 2 days following and they yesterday Hunter DID IT! He is really catching on so fast to new things...

We also had our 2nd RSV shot today, He did pretty good but poor baby did cry quite a bit! My heart just aches when we have to give a shot! We also found out that Hunter weighs 15lbs 2 oz. since our last visit which was only 28 days ago (yes, I counted since we have to get the RSV shot every 28 days until winter is officially over) So, that means that he gained 2 lbs 3 oz in that short little window!! I am so excited to know that momma's milk is helping him so GREAT!

I am so stinking proud of my SMART HANDSOME KID! What an awesome blessing we have been given!!

PRAISE GOD!

Easter outfit....

We have a sweet "classic" Easter outfit for our sweet boy!!

The Sweet Outfit!!

The outfit on the left is Jarrod's first easter outfit and Hunter's is on the right

Daddy and Me Outfits

How sweet does he look?!

Nana and her Grandson in her baby boys first outfit!

I really wanted to get a "classic" outfit for Hunter. I didn't want anything that would be Trendy so to speak... Not that there is anything wrong with that at all. I just really thought it would be so much sweeter if Hunter were to wear something classic. I knew that I wanted a Romper and I liked the pleats in the outfit but I didn't really know where to look.

We went out to MIL's house this past weekend, for a basketball game for my little brother in law! (which they rocked) After the game we went back to the house until it was time to go to a birthday party later that evening.. My MIL said that she got Hunter something that she "hoped mommy would like" and a valentine's gift for our sweet boy. Well, of course I was so excited to see this "surprise" that I asked to see it. =D

She came back out with this GORGEOUS little outfit! a Sweet Romper -Pale blue with pleats in the front. I then realized that it was the same style as what Jarrod wore for his VERY FIRST Easter!! I was grinning from ear to ear! What a sweet sentimental way to remember Hunter's first easter! I always said that I wanted Hunter to look like his daddy!!

In sight on that: We strive to look like our heavenly father and were indeed created in his image and I knew that I wanted my son not only to look like his Savior but to also to look like his daddy. A handsome and godly man!

I am ever so thankful for my amazing family that the Lord has provided!!!
