A Christmas to Remember

I can honestly say that all my Christmas wishes came true this year.. The Lord carried us safely through many travels and memorable visits with family and friends. Seth remained in reasonably good health and good spirits through it all. Best of all was the news we received on December 23 that literally put the sparkle in Christmas for us all.. yes, we are expecting! Thank you, Jesus. After all the trials and struggles of the past six years, I can't describe what a blessing this is.. what a kiss from God.. to conceive naturally after only six months of trying. (I use the word trying loosely, since my mind has been on a myriad of other things, especially during the holiday season.) We had resolved to leave the matter in God's capable hands (as though it were anywhere else?) and wait until February to go back to the fertility clinic. No fertility clinic needed here! Can I pinch myself now?

This will likely turn into my pregnancy diary before long, but I promise to keep updates on Seth coming too. We'll see a doctor today hopefully and have more news soon. The Lord has been so good and so faithful. In the words of Madeline.. "Hope is all you need for Christmas." Hope is indeed all you need.
