We really have been blessed throughout this entire experience. A has been able to work out every day, has not experienced morning sickness, has not had any crazy cravings, no mood swings, no change of diet outside of not drinking alcohol, and we've still been able to go out on adventures and create new memories! In reality, not being able to enjoy a nice glass of wine together at the end of the day has been the biggest sacrifice. As it currently dumps snow, we are thinking about bundling up and taking the dogs for a romp in the park! With Atticus's arrival, we are looking forward to the sacrifices and changes that are to come. Some we can foresee and others we cannot. One thing that is important to us is to always keep adventure in the fore of our lives. It wasn't too long ago that I was writing back to a friend in CA and we were talking about the challenges of seeking after the things that are pleasing to God and not to man. About how difficult that can be in our culture, with our drive, and how that balances out with a successful career in business, socially, etc. I stated some of my struggles and said something along the lines of, "Seeking holiness is the greatest of adventures." It truly is an epic adventure and we hope to share "the greatest of adventures" with Atticus.
His arrival is soon approaching with the due date 5 weeks away. This is a very exciting time of life with so many new experiences, surprises, and changes. We have been fortunate enough to be able to embrace them all and look forward with eager anticipation. Now, off to the park to play in the snow!
Guinness is ready for a baby brother!
Haile is excited as well!
The baby bump is getting bigger! Wahoo!
