May. 18, 2007 - A look back

My journal entry on May 17th, 2006 - Exactly 1 year ago yesterday:

Oh my word.  Yesterday we found out that we're expecting!!  I can hardly believe it!   I got all teary-eyed and had trouble breathing as the little test strip was sitting there showing off 2 pink lines.   All of my headaches, exhaustion, etc. make sense now.  Looks like I'm about 4 weeks along!  We've been discussing names, how to tell everyone, when to go to the doctor, etc...

Help us, Father, as we begin this journey.  I give you my fears - fears of safety, miscarriage, delivery - everything.  This little one is Your's and we give him or her to You.  Please take good care of Baby Vinson?  Please help me to be careful and safe, esp. in the first few months here.

Guide us, God, as we embark on this new journey You have laid out for us!  Thank you for this amazing and tremendous blessing.

   

I love you, Father, I love you, Travis, and I love you, our child.

I still remember the lump in my throat and the shaking of my hand as I stared down at the 2 pink lines on the test strip looking up at me.  In my disbelief all I could say was, "Travis, there are TWO pink lines!"   A year ago I was only 4 weeks along with Clarke, who was just the size of a sesame seed.  Now, our little man is 4 months old and weighs over 15 lbs.  How did we get here so quickly?!    Clarke has brought sooo much joy into our hearts and lives that it is difficult to express in words how our life has changed and what he means to us.  We simply wouldn't trade him for anything in the entire world. It's such a wonder to me, this precious miracle of life.  We love our son more and more with each passing day...
