Tender Mercies

Guys. Heavenly Father is amazing.

So, we got our answer to prayers that we should have a baby, right? So, we went for it... and then I started freaking out realizing that we're pretty much poor college students and babies cost LOTS of money. 

Not to mention I eat us out of house and home and need larger clothing for the 9 months leading up to our expensive child. :p

I told you about the friend that let me borrow her maternity clothes, who just happens to be my size and all of them fit perfectly! 

Well, last night another friend had me come over to her house and she gave me lots of great stuff! She's done having babies, and so she wanted to have someone to hand her baby things down to. A lot of the basics are now taken care of, and so we only have to worry about a couple more 'big' things. (And then diapers. I assume we'll run out of baby shower diapers eventually. ;) But really. You get so many clothes from showers, I haven't really thought about having to buy very many sets of clothes for our baby.)

One concern at a time, Heavenly Father just keeps giving us little thumbs up that we're on the right track, and takes care of things I've worried and stressed about.

I'm just feeling super grateful over here today, so naturally I had to write a gushy post about it. ;)

I also still have the best husband in the world, who drops everything when he knows I'm sick and comes in to help me however he can. 

I also have an AMAZING family, I got to sit in on their family counsel last night (it was kind of weird that I was only a minor part of it. I don't want to grow up! ;p) and I just thought about how lucky I am to have the parents I do. They're kind of adorable, for one, and for two they're such great examples to me of what I want our kids to see in their parents. 

And who can forget that our baby has a big burly farmer angel up there getting them ready to come down into our family. :) (Kind of a sweet thought, isn't it?) 

Life is such a crazy, wonderful, amazing gift.
