"For this child I have prayed and the Lord has granted the desires of my heart."

Ryan and I have always wanted children, maybe a whole house full even, and ever since we got married I have been praying that God would bless us. It has been a rough year and a half planning for this bundle of joy, but we are excited for this next adventure of our lives!! Abby is too if you couldn't tell...the sun was in her eyes.
At my last doctor appointment I was told that come August, I would most likely be sent to a specialist in KC. So when I found out the news in June, I was beyond ecstatic! Another doctor I have to go to informed me months ago that if I were able to carry a child it would be a higher risk pregnancy and it would be a lot more likely for me to have a miscarriage. I wanted the moment I told Ryan to be special and remembered no matter what God's path had in store for us. Since Ryan lives out of town during the week and some weekends, it was easier to keep Baby Stu a secret from him a little longer (2-3 weeks!) and get something planned. I got ahold of a videographer (she has done a couple other videos for us) to capture the moment and with a little help from Abby, my surprise was a perfect success!!
No matter what this adventure holds, I know it is all apart of God's wonderful plan and I will rejoice! Please keep us in your prayers during these next 6 months for a healthy pregnancy and also that God continues to work in Ryan and I's lives to help us prepare for raising God's most precious gifts!
