Mother's Day
We had a pretty exciting Mother's day mostly because this is the picture that went along with the present we gave our mothers for mother's day.
We're due Nov. 23rd, My mom and Jonny's birthday, which makes me about 12 weeks along. Considering that Jonny will be in his 3rd year of medical school, the timing of the baby is pretty great--during our Family Practice rotation in Spanish Fork, so we will have a lot of help with the new baby and with Aaron.
We feel very blessed to be having another little one. I know that it will bring on many new blessings and challenges, and I have to admit that for a while I was rather anxious about taking this next step. I just need more faith and I know that God is helping me to that end. Since we found out I have felt at peace and my excitement is growing with my waistline. :)
And the examples of my mother and mother-in-law are always a great source of strength. They are the most selfless, Christ-like people I know and I am lucky to have their influence in my life. Happy Mother's Day!
