From One to Two to Three

It's amazing how life can change. All the beautiful blessings that come our way to make life richer and better. In less than a year my life has had such blessings rain upon it.

On September 28th, 2007, I was married to the most wonderful man on the planet. We had perfect weather and we had a perfect place for the ceremony and the reception. Our family and friends were present and it was a nice, relaxing day. Odd for a wedding day but I have to say, I had no worries or nerves at all. Simply bliss!

Only two and a half months after this beautiful day did we find out to our absolute pleasure that were expecting our first child. I remember finding out and popping my hear into the shower where my husband was showering and saying, "We're going to have a baby!" The expression on his face was enough to tell me he was very pleased.

Some may think it isn't a good idea to bring a baby into a new marriage, but the Lord has blessed us with this little, growing baby boy and we are so excited to meet him. He is due to arrive on the first of September. Fitting that that day should be called Labour Day.

"Your wife will be like a fruitful vine withing your house;
your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.
Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord."
Psalm 128:3-4
