I wrote this little poem/story about our baby the day we found out we were having a girl. I just wanted to share it with you all. It is a testimony of our thankfulness for the little one the Lord has graciously blessed us with.
Our baby is such an answer to our prayers
As our prayer and desire was to have a baby in time
To tell my sister (Karis) and her family the big news
Face to face before they left for Africa.
We started praying at the beginning of this year
For the Lord to provide us a baby specifically before they moved.
And did God quickly answer our prayers
Right away, the first month!
What an amazing answer to prayer.
How we thanked the Lord for our special one.
We did tell Dan and Karis first and then family followed
Each one so happy and sharing joy with us.
We've experience much the first five months
From the morning sickness times,
To the growing out of regular clothes and into maternity (not Tim of course!)
To the feeling of the movement of our child!
And now we know our baby is a girl!
We pray the Lord would save her soul
That she would treasure the Lord above all else
And follow Him with her whole heart all of her life.
We thank you Lord with all our heart
For giving us our precious little girl!
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. - 2 Corinthians 12:15a

Praise the Lord for His perfect timing and His answer to prayer! I'll never forget the excitement and joy when we found out about the baby!!! Kristen, keep on writing down your thoughts and praises -- you'll be glad you did when your children are grown! I wish I would have!
Love, Mom
This made me tear up! What a sweet poem that little Megan will enjoy reading some day -- especially around the time she is pregnant with her first. But there's no reason to take about you being a grandma since you haven't even had your first child yet. :-)
Kristen -- I soo did not even realize you were expecting until I saw this post. Congratulations to both of you!!!
What a sweet poem - something to hang onto and remember for a long time.
