Alyssa's Prayer
"...Thank you God for the baby in mommy's tummy.
Thank you God for the baby to pop out.
Thank you God for the car seat to buckle the baby so he does not fall out of the door and get hit by a car...."
We have been praying with Alyssa everynight for the baby. It is so sweet to hear her own words to God. I told her one day that when the baby is born (or pops out) he/she will sit next to her in the car in their own car seat. I guess she took it from there.
As for me, things are fine. I have 2 weeks before my next appointment. The first few weeks were "easy", I guess I was just excited for the baby. I think now, the fear, the anticipation, the unknown is starting to creep in on me. Wondering if I am eating enough of this? Should I not be eating this? Does everything feel right? We still have not seen the obvious "baby" on the ultrasound, so I am anxious just to see that. That will give me a little reassurance that things are on track. More after my appointment...

Julie, I am thankful to God and know He is orchestrating His Plan for your family. Keep leaning on Jesus.
God is SO faithful!

We are so happy for you! My husband's cousin is Chad Baker (Chad, Ashley, Abbey) and they had let us know about your blog long ago when Noah was born. We've been thinking of you ever since, and through you found baby Ira's blog and family. I have checked your blog from time to time to read updates, and whenever I see a balloon floating in the sky I think of your family. Our fourth is due to be born in about a week. Just wanted to say we appreciate so much your writing about your life over the last many months, about your thoughts and feelings. We will keep you in our hearts and minds as we pray for you & your husband, and Alyssa and the newest member of your family. Congratulations. The Lord is Good, all the time.
Alyssa is too cute!! Love you--
The best part of reading her prayer (which is really so sweet and sincere) is imagining you and Ethan telling her, at some point, that if she wasn't buckled in, she'd fall out and get hit by a car. Hilarious!
