Baby Peanut

Oh, goodness! I have had so much time to think this weekend! If you know me, that is not always a good thing! But, I think it's actually ok this time. Everything is getting more realistic each day. Each time I walk past the nursery, I think, "Wow, we are going to have a baby in that room any day now!" It's almost too good to be true. This pregnancy hasn't been the easiest in the world. And, I have actually decided that's OK. I think it has given me a greater appreciation for this little bundle. Not that I have ever not appreciated the gift God has given us, but I have had days that made me frustrated that it hasn't been a piece of cake for us (and just thinking that frustrated me)! But, it's not always sunshine and roses. Sometimes we have to have the rain and thorns to make the perfect rose. And, that's what peanut will be - perfect! I don't mean that nothing will be "wrong," but no matter what, he/she will be our perfect little miracle! God has truly blessed Brad and I with having the ability to have a child and allowing us to make it this far! We are only 4 days from our 2nd goal (June 24th)!! Not only that, we have been so blessed with an amazing support system. Friends I don't keep up with on a daily basis have e-mailed and reached out to us. Thank you for that! I'm honestly not sure I can ever express how much that means to me/us! I'm sitting here watching golf (of all things) and they keep talking about father/child relationships. I'm so excited for Brad to have that very soon!! I think he will be such a proud Dad! I can't wait until Peanut can hold a fishing pole and stand right by Dad to catch his/her he first bass!! What a priceless moment that will be! Happy Father's Day, Brad! Zeke, Peanut, and I love you!

I will try and update tomorrow after the doctor's appointment! My bp has been great this weekend so I'm very hopeful tomorrow will go well!! Have a great night!

Love, Kari
