Well, we'll have to wait a while to find out but we have decided to do a cupcake party so everyone finds out at the same time!
In the meantime, people have asked if I have a gut feeling one way or another.
Well, I do, actually. But not because of anything physical.
Many years ago, when life as I knew it ended in Spain, one of the things I mourned the most was the loss of hope for a family. I had no idea what God has planned for me and came to the brutal realization that I might never be a wife or a mother. Trusting that God is good, I came to terms with this.
Shortly therafter, I was praying one day and had a vision of a little boy (my little boy) playing catch with my father at the ball fields near my parents house (the same ball fields we went to growing up). The image was so strong, but at the time completely crazy. The vision suggested that two things would happen: one, that I would move back to Huntsville and two, meet a nice southern boy and settle down in Huntsville. At the time, those two things were just not on my radar and not at all part of my plan :-) Thankfully God knows what's best for me and a few months later, I found myself celebrating New Year's with Paul in Huntsville, Alabama. Crazy. A few years later we are married and completely settled in Huntsville Alabama. Even more crazy!
Fast forward. Baby's due date is January 24th. The day after my father's birthday.
One way or another we'll find out in a few months. We are just happy that Baby is healthy and growing and hope for continued health throughout the pregnancy.
ps - so glad the news is out and I can write about this again!!! thanks for joining me on the journey!
Welcome to our little space of the web.
After buying a cute little mill house in Five Points, renovating it and thinking we would never live anywhere else we decided to move. To a rancher. A pink rancher. So not us. But, it will be, with time, elbow grease and good contractors! From the first time we walked in the front door we knew we were home. The new house is right around the corner from my parent's house where I grew up. We are so excited for Matthew and Charlotte to grow up here, riding bikes, going to the pool, playing in the woods... my childhood was filled with freedom and wonder allowed by a safe neighborhood that I could explore and make my place in the world. I am thrilled we can give that to our children.
These days our blog is filled with the adventures of Mateo and Charlotte...mixed in with a few home projects and recipes. But mostly the kids take front and center. Join us on the adventure!
So excited for you, agagin!! Can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl!!
