Excitement and Anxiety!

And so we are slowly coming down to the wire here. Brian will leave for Mobile, AL in just a week or so and I will be left to prepare for the baby and our move! Recently, we have done a ton of stuff related to getting ready for the baby. Just this week, we had a 3 hour breastfeeding class, which turned out to be incredibly interesting! Yes boys, I dragged Brian along!!! We also had a newborn care class, where Brian got to see all the different forms of baby poop...that REALLY psyched him out to change diapers, let me tell you!!! Things here are progressing slowly, we have our first birthing class this Saturday and a doctors appointment, along with a tour of Labor & Delivery this coming Tuesday. Other than that, the same old stuff really. I am still prego as ever and really enjoying feeling Justus move CONSTANTLY. He is a beast in there! Brian can feel him move now if I am just laying next to him, he doesn't even need to have his hand on the belly. He also responds to pressure. So if you know that he is kicking and you put a tad of pressure where he is, he kicks back! It is such a miracle. The more I experience pregnancy, the more I am convinced we are truly fearfully and wonderfully made (well I was already convinced...you know what I am trying to say!). As time passes, both Brian and I are getting more and more anxious to meet our little one. We both constantly wonder what he looks like, what his personality will be, and how awesome it is going to be to influence and raise him. He has already blessed us in so many ways that we can't even imagine what it is going to be like to hold him that glorious day! Brian said to me just the other day, "I love him so much already, I can't even imagine when he is actually born." He is so right. Feeling him move, and knowing that we had a hand in creating him constantly blows our minds and brings us closer each day, not only to each other, but to dependence on the Lord. We know that we will not have all the answers, but we do know that this is part of His divine plan...to create us to be parents, and Jesus will neither leave us nor forsake us during the pivotal time. It has been great, to spill our joys and emotions on the blogger for you, but know that we have not done our excitement justice at all through this. We are beyond excited to the point that there are not many fears about being parents...only joy and wonderment at this point. We know the Lord will provide for us and for our new family during our time here in Pensacola, and our time in San Diego, and we await the trails and abundance that he has for us, knowing that in the long run, we will only be a tighter knit family for it. God Bless you all. We miss you so much and are glad that once in a while we can spill our thoughts over the computer to let you know what a marvelous experience it has been to be married and now creating our own family. We hope that you are all doing well and that life, despite its trials and down times, is filled with love and peace that only our Lord can provide.
God Bless,
