We recently discovered we were having a baby boy. We knew we would be excited to have either gender. However, just seeing our baby and being able to know much more about him was an amazing blessing.
The first trimester was a roller coaster, but we praised God throughout. The second trimester has been scary! With the massive bleed and car accident that threatened the life of our unborn child, God has certainly protected myself and our baby boy. With every week that passes, Sean and I just thank God for His blessing growing within my womb.
Since the nausea has stopped, it has been very nice to get into a routine of work and family time. Though, I must admit, I have needed Sean more throughout this time than I think I ever have. I have almost become a needy girl. lol Which is slightly weird due to the fact that I have never been very clingy and I happen to believe Sean loves seeing this side of me.
I have started to feel the baby move, kick, and whatever else he does in there while he is growing and awaiting his debut in January. Each flutter, movement, and spasm is glorious to me. I praise and thank God for each of these moments. It is a great feeling.
Recalling the day we received the phone call to confirm that we were expecting makes tears come to my eyes. After trying for so long and going through so much to just conceive, we finally did it. God had finally sought us fit to have a child. Now, on this day seeing my "baby bump" and feeling our baby boy moving around in my womb is one of the greatest blessings next to marrying Sean. Though nothing can compare to knowing Christ, I am getting a glimpse into how much we are loved with each day I get to experience this baby move and with each time we get to see our boy through ultrasound machine. Hearing his heartbeat is a reminder of the miracle of life.
We are overwhelmed with the love and prayers poured out for our miracle and could never express how much we love you all and covet your prayers and praises! We continue to seek God throughout this time and thank Him for each day we grow closer to holding our son and teaching him the love of Christ.
Many Blessings and Much Love,
Patti

Awww this made me teary eyed! I always prayed that your day would come, you guys are going to be such awesome parents. I love you Patch Dryer ever since elementary school, when you left in HS to NC it was one of the worst days of my life, I remember crying so much because my Best Friend had left me. Now to be able to have you here (although we don't see eachother as much) and to be able to hold my nephew when he is born just makes me soo happy!!!! I love you.
