The Introduction

This journal is to be a nine month work in progress, dedicated to our future son/daughter, who we now so lovingly refer to as our “Baby Bean”. We have been tracking its development since the very first day we knew about him/her, on December 18, 2012, and this is to be an ongoing creative memory log of all that has happened so far, and all that is to happen in the coming months. Unfortunately, this pregnancy has not been “average” in terms of what to expect for the mom and dad-to-be, but we are learning as we go. There are good days and there have been bad days. And despite other distractions that get in the way of what should be the joys of pregnancy and anticipation of our new little bundle to come, we are taking each day at a time and counting our blessings. Luckily, Baby Bean is progressing as normal and for that we are so thankful. We pray for continued health and growth for our baby, and know that he/she is wrapped in God’s loving arms as it is being carefully knit together in its mother’s womb. Prayerfully, as we go forward, we hope for more milestones reached that we can all rejoice in together! Mama is keeping her eye on the prize, due to come in late August 2013!
