Keith and I went to our church last night for a wonderful church service. The church decided to have a worship service instead of normal Wednesday night activities. The music was awesome, and God was obviously there. Pastor Bradly led everyone to reflect on what they wanted to see happen in 2009 and ask for forgiveness for everything in 2008, which really made me think:
We all know in 2009 that Noah is coming. That was the big thing that popped in my head. I want to be a wonderful mother to my child, but after thinking on this awhile, the only way I am going to be a wonderful mother to Noah is if I strengthen my faith and relationship with God. When we took communion last night at the service and Bradley asked Keith and I what we wanted to see happen, I should have said, my faith, my relationship, and my trust for God. God has truly blessed Keith and I. Every morning I wake up, I am amazed with everything that God is doing in our lives and in our friends and families lives. I am very thankful for all those things, without God, this perfect, sinless little baby inside of me would not be about to arrive. The closer the time comes for Noah to make his appearence, I begin to worry alot that Im not going to be a good mother, that I will not show him the christian life, that he will not love God and then I will fail. Keith reassures me all the time that I will be a wonderful mother, and all the reasons I will be a wonderful mother is all the reasons he loves me and the reasons he fell in love with me, but in this time, I guess im becoming nervous about 2009. Noah should be here in 27 days... if not sooner or later, and it absoultely scares me. I just want the world for Noah, I want him to follow his heart wherever that might lead him, to have passion and go after his dreams, to be like his father and love. Love God, his wife, and his family. As Keith and I enter this new chapter in our lives, please pray for us, and pray for baby Noah. Hes not here yet, but I love him more than I ever thought I could love. We cant wait to see all of you in 2009, and for you to be with us in this new phase of our lives.

- Here is our story!! Keith and I met back in 2004. We fell in love and got married in 2006. After being married about 6 months we decided we wanted to start trying to have a baby. After tring for a year and being unsucessful, my doctor recomend that Keith and I go to a fertility specialist. This scared the crap out of both of us. Keith went through some test before hand that didnt turn out all that bad. During this time we are still trying. 2 days before our fertility doctor appointment, I knew I should take a pregnancy test before I went, because I knew that they would make me take one when i got there. Well when I took the test it was POSITIVE!!! And thats where the story or should I say Noah began. Exactly 2 years later, Wyatt James arrived...When they say its easy to get pregnant the second time, they...who ever they are is right...God has truly blessed the two of us with the sweet boys!

Carrie,
You and Keith will be wonderful parents. It's overwhelming thinking about the big picture of bringing new life into the world. Focusing on getting through each day helps put things in perspective. Your love for Keith and for Noah will always provide you with the instincts to make the best decisions for your sweet family. I can't wait to meet Noah and to play an active part in his life.
I love you!
Jane
