So here are our pics our our little man!
I was sitting at work today thinking about the baby and it hit me that in 3 ½ months we will have a baby in our home! I had to remind myself I was at my desk and to refrain from screaming out of shear joy and maybe a little panic because we have not even started on the baby room!!!
How long have we waited for this moment? 3 years - and in just over 3 months our dreams of a family larger than two will become our reality. We have lost so much. We have become different people in spite of and probably because of it. And now the miracle we prayed for is soon to arrive. Our precious little miracle. We will no longer be a family of two. For a long time I was sure we would learn to be content in that. But little Logan will complete our family no matter what our future may hold. He will always be exactly what God intended for our family.
If you haven't guessed or know by now – I am not pregnant! God bless my sister for bearing the unpleasantness and pain of pregnancy and childbirth for me when the doctors told me there was no way I could physically do it myself right now. Most of you might think I am crazy for actually missing that part, but I do. I apologize to her over and over for queasiness and swollen ankles that I can't do anything about. We are truly blessed and I can't wait until September when we get the phone call that it's time to go. I am sure that in that moment our house will break into pandemonium and utter chaos. And we will drive frantically - and for the first time in a long time I will be happy to step foot into the front doors of a hospital. Because that is the day we will get to meet our little miracle. And I will finally get to hold a baby that is all ours. No giving him back to his mom…because I am his mom. For all the screaming fits and sleepless nights…I will be forever grateful for him and for the woman who carried our son into this world – my sister.

Jen, you are going to be such a wonderful Mommy! Anytime you want to "practice" with Evan you are more than welcome.
This was so fun to read! You'll have to save it for Logan! I can't wait for him to arrive! Let me know if you want help painting!
oh i got goose bumps !
what an incredible amazing awesome blessing. so excited for you both and cant wait to meet him.
let me know if you want help decorating :) we could have a painting decorating party !! hee hee
Thanks girls! I'll let you know about the painting...for now Dean is all about it. I am not going to rain on his motivated parade! Not sure how often I will get this much motivation from the man! I have just never seen him so totally stoked to do something ever...The fact that it is a boy and he can put blue (a shade of it) on the wall may be part of the motivation!
What a huge blessing. Enjoy the "getting ready" for Logan part of your life.
I love that Dean is so into getting the room ready for Logan, Dad's seem to get left out a bit sometimes, so let him do his thing!
Can't wait to meet this little guy, he'll have lots of friends to play with at church. :)
