Anticipating Our Great Arrival!!!

"Children are a gift from the LORD, they are a reward from Him." -Psalm 127:3-

Tonight we eagerly await D-Day! Over the past few weeks we have prepared. Prepared the nursery, prepared our house, prepared with organizing blankets, toys, and all baby necessities. Today I did a load of baby clothes and was beaming as I folded each and every piece of clothing. It is hard to believe that this day has finally arrived. For nine months we knew that we were going to be blessed with a child, but the time is finally here. We are nervous thinking, "Have we gotten everything ready? Are we truly prepared to be parents?" I'm not sure that any parent could ever say that they are 100% ready to have a child or be a parent, but what a blessing it is!!!

I pray for this child each day. I pray that he or she will grow to know and love the Lord and be the light that this broken world needs. As parents we need prayer. We are so distracted by our everyday lives and often time forget that we are to be the light of the world. God has given us this child as a gift, but He has also given us this child so that we can help to show it His love and to help this child become the child of God that he or she was meant to be.

Through all the fears and anxieties, we eagerly await your arrival Baby Norwood. Mommy and Daddy can't wait to kiss your precious face and hear your sweet cries.
