Liberty.

Dear Liberty aka baby #2,

Im writing to you on this 4th of july mostly because I seemed it fitting to address you by your name on this special day. Your name. Means more than just its association with patriotism. It is a gift from the Lord that we have been given, that we can choose to do whats good and true, and just. Your name may mean many things to many people, but to me it means being able to express and practice being who we are and strive for greatness in all things, and most of all seek Christ and worship our creator, to me, THAT is what we have been given liberty for.

I am thankful for liberty. I am thankful for you and we have given you this name because we believe in it. We believe that you will stand for it. We believe you will make this world a better place. 

You are special.

Not just because you are OURS. but because God made you that way. You are being knit in my very womb at this very moment and many times throughout the day i get winded rather quickly and immediatly remember that its because there is mighty work being done inside me. This is no small deal. Your very life and every detail of your being is slowiy crafting together. How wonderful, How marvelous, how absolutley mind boggling. 

With great things comes a small sacrafice, and As of right now the nausea is set in. It comes and goes. mostly it hangs around, though. Iknow it is only for the first few months so i am prepared to stick it out.

what a crazy ride its been lately. we are preparing for things to take root soon, uncertainty has ahold of us now and we are holding onto our love for our family and trusting in Him to light our way. we are preparing for your arrival in a whole new way and aren’t quite sure what our lives will be like when we finally bring you home. I can’t wait to blog about where we are that day <3

Love, your momma
