What's Up With Us????

To begin the tale of what is going on with us I start with the fact that in just 5 short weeks our little girl is due to meet the world! She can come at any time (and we are hoping she comes sooner than later)!! Can you believe it? Time is just flying by! It feels like just yesterday I was sitting down to tell you all that Micah and I were expecting, and now she is practically knocking on our door.

These weeks bring so many feelings. The first is pure excitement! We are so excited to meet our little Reese. I can't even begin to put words to how we feel. Every night we look in her room and talk about how amazing she will be. We just can't wait to meet her.

Another feeling we have is complete and utter FEAR! What are we doing??? Sometimes I just stop and think about the hugeness of the the life change we are about to embark on and I wonder what we are doing. We don't have a clue about being parents! Fortunately, we have many friends and family that have been amazing, Godly examples of what parents should be. We have been gleaning for years.

In addition to excitement and fear we feel anxious. Not necessarily in a bad way. We just don't know what to expect. Life is about to change forever, and we just don't know what it is going to be like. One thing we do know is that it will be amazing. We know we will make mistakes along the way but God will be by our side guiding us in bringing up this miracle that is about to join our little family.

My mom will be visiting us come the end of November and she will be with us for 3 weeks! We are so excited to see her. This will be her very first visit to the UK and I think it will be full of excitement. It will be nice to have a set of hands around this place that actually knows what they are doing when it comes to babies:). We are happy she is able to come and share this time with us. And then about a month after my mom comes my friend Tara will be here for another week to spend some time with us and Reese. We are very much looking forward to both visits.

So that has pretty much consumed us for the last little bit. Life is good. We are good. We are ready to embark on the next phase of our lives.
