Boy or Girl???

For a second- I thought it would be cool to not know if it was a boy or girl... But Andrew- HAD TO KNOW! So at 17 weeks we went to our Dr.'s appointment hoping they would tell us the sex of our little one. Immediately the Doctor knew! We both looked at each other as the doc told us! Tears filled our eyes! We would have been happy either way but knowing made it more real. Again.... we couldn't wait to share the news. This was totally Andrews Idea and I loved it!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!

 

 

Our Due date is Christmas Eve! When the doctors told us that at 6 weeks we were in shock. My first thought was "The greatest Gift God ever gave this world was on Christmas"... Here we were not knowing how long it would take to have a baby and God was giving us one for Christmas!

 

As I stated before... God's timing is everything!  As Christmas is quickly approaching- I can't help but think about how I haven't done all my Christmas shopping this year... (My human instinct is that it doesn't feel like Christmas unless I have presents to put under the tree!) But God is reminding me this Christmas season that the true meaning of Christmas is CHRIST and the gift he gave to this dying world!.. My whole family is remembering this all over again. We have always known- yet we are being refreshed this Holiday season!  

 

Last year I tried to do 25 random acts of kindness in December. This was truly amazing! I paid for the car behind me in the drive thru (I gave a note to the cashier to give them) it said " This month I am trying to do 25 random acts of kindness because God made the ultimate act of kindness when He gave Jesus to this lost and dying world.. Merry CHRISTmas.. Please pay it forward).. I encourage you to remember the true meaning of the season this year.. Don't get caught up in shopping so much that you lose sight of the Holiday. Make your children give a toy to a child who needs one...teach them that it is good to give... not just to receive. ..  Donate some items or some food items to a pantry. GIVE- because God first Gave to us!
