This time of year I try to reflect on all the joys and even heartaches that have been brought to my family over the course of the year. We have lost loved ones, struggled with conceiving a baby, and had financial hardship. But even as I sit here typing those heartaches out, I struggle to find times when the bad really outdid the good! We have all been blessed with good health, we have a roof over our heads, OVERFLOWING love for each other! My faith has brought me through the rough times and soared me in times of joy. Our God is a wonderful loving God! Today He is blessing us with another miracle of life!
I am writing this post a day ahead of time (its really Thursday) :), because as I speak my sister is at the hospital in labor preparing to deliver her second baby - a little boy! I can not wait to see him - which is actually where I will be in the morning! My sis's daughter has nicknamed her little brother "Mater" - yes from Cars fame. I'm sure his nickname will stick, she has nicknamed all of us and even though she knows our real names, she calls us by her chosen nickname for each of us. So as baby Mater enters the world today, even though Mamoo (thats me) and Tayjum won't be there to greet him, you better believe we will be there bright and early in the morning!
We have tentatively set a couple days as possibilities next week to take his newborn pictures. You have no idea how excited I am for those!!! I have been prepping for weeks now. I have knitted blankets and hats (still have one on the needles), shopped for bowls and other cool props, created new backdrops, and
Soooo..... be on the look out next week over on my Facebook page for Mater's announcement and pictures!
Enjoy your weekend! I am taking a break from blogging this weekend to spend time with my family and our new little guy. See you all Monday!
