Strange Christmas

Yeah, so this has officially been the snowiest December in recorded Oregon history.  It will also be my first “white Christmas”.  We also spent most of this week stuck in our house, which kind of sucked, but was also good for us. 

We were stressed though for much of the past week.  Lisa had Christmas programs that got cancelled and annoyed her.  We also had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for Monday to make official that we were having a baby, and get to see it on the ultra-sound.  That appointment was cancelled.  We were so saddened by that, but through some finagling we were able to get in Tuesday to the hospital to see little “Baby T”.  We saw the heart beat and the leg and arm “nubs”(their word not ours).  I told Lisa she could take back all of my presents, I had enough for Christmas.  Ever since we miscarried three months ago, we have been in a weird agony over this pregnancy.  Before you have a miscarriage you have no reason or though of losing a baby, and after you do, it terrifies you.   We have been praying earnestly that God has a plan for this little boy or girl and that with that plan, this little baby will bring Him the glory he is due and deserves.  We also are praying that we will do the same during this pregnancy and if/when this baby is born and then raised. Please join us is praising God for letting us see this little baby, and to hear its little heart beat.  Pray that God will get the glory due Him no matter what.
