A Letter to My Baby....

Dear Baby, My sweet baby and firstborn.  How much your Dad and I love you already!  We've had quite the ride these past months preparing to be your parents.  Dad is adjusting quite well taking care of your Momma, and your Mommy is ready to finally meet you.  Honestly your Mom is definitely ready to be done with being pregnant.  It has been an honor and privilege to carry you and know that you are growing the way God has planned for you to be.  However she is ready to not feel like she has the stomach flu every time she leans over and to be able to reach her toes again.  But you are most certainly worth it!  Feeling you kick and move has been a pleasure and your Dad and I smile every time.  We chuckle at all the movements wondering what you might be thinking.  Are you wanting more space or just interested in stretching out?  When Daddy holds you by touching Momma's tummy you seem to like it.  Mom's tummy starts to feel warm inside and you either start to move more or relax

Fairfax is southwest of Cedar Rapids on hwy 151 Our church is like 5 or 6 minutes away.  Well, we visited it for the first time this last Sunday.  We seemed to both like it as of now.  However you always have to go more than once to get the full effect.  Everyone was very welcoming and we even got to have a quick chat with the head Pastor.  He mentioned a ministry that Jon seemed to be interested in, which is always good.  I'm hoping the children's program is something worth looking into and getting more info about. The entrance to Stonebridge Church The more I thought about it, I thought....when Johnston Evangelical Free Church seemed so new to me, how did I feel like I knew more people?  How did it become to feel more like home?  When I changed to Timberline Church I was an adult and it was a lot fast
