we’re having a baby!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow…
We are so excited to share with you the wonderful news of our little baby! We couldn’t be more grateful for this gift!
Joe and I have been praying and asking the Lord for children for the past two years. In the midst of waiting, two years felt like ten, but God in his gracious timing and faithfulness blessed us with the news of our little one in October -on our three year wedding anniversary- it was the best anniversary gift we could have asked for!
I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and am due the 4th of July! We had an early ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and have since heard the heartbeat twice. We have been blessed with wonderful visits to the doctor and continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy.
Thank you for sharing in our joy! We truly feel so excited, humbled, nervous, and grateful for the privilege of parenting this child. We welcome your prayers and any helpful advice you have to offer!
One of the main reasons for this blog is to help our baby’s grandparents–and hopefully you–stay connected with our lives across the many, many miles with stories and pictures.
We do hope you will come along for the ride…
joe + jen + little rig
