Sometimes I feel like my heart could burst!


On Monday it will be three months...

three months of kissing those chubby cheeks
three months of watching Brock and Erica's love for their baby brother deepen
three months of laughing at Micah's expressions
three months of baby food and diapers (after a 7 year hiatus)
three months of good sleep (much to our delightful surprise!!)
three months of marveling at God's plan
three months of forgetting the "waiting pains"

As our sweet baby cuddled on my chest last night (something that he is starting to do more and more!!!!!!and I love it!!!) I seriously felt like my heart could burst with joy. I love feeling his little breaths and yawns and the way he kicks his little foot every once in awhile. Brock captured the moment on digital, but I am not sure any picture or any words can begin to describe how thankful I am for moments like these.

"For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands."
Psalm 92:4

OH. MY. GOODNESS.
That is SUCH a sweet picture! I love it that you posted a picture with this entry! So fun!
Those cheeks on that boy are too cute! :)
Ah, God is good. Can you even remember how long it took you to get from PGN to Civil Registry? How long you were in the US Embassy? Huh? Can you?

Love you,
Stacy

That feeling of your heart bursting- what a wonderful gift from God! (Micah is a great gift too!) Daniel used to fall asleep just like Micah does- some of my absolutely favorite memories of when he was little!

It is really neat to see how Micah has fit into your family. God is so great!!!
