Merry Christmas!
This has definitely been one of the hardest years we have ever had. By we, I say Martin and I and my coworkers, Dr. Troup, and my family. Vanderbilt was really tough, but it's over, now I have boards to conquer. The infertility struggle was hard. It sure did end well, though, right?
WE ARE HAVING A BABY!
What an amazing God we serve. He has blessed us this year over and over again. It really is amazing how he loves me! Its amazing how he cares! Praise be to God our father for sending his baby to us to live and then to die to save us. Blessed is Mary who traveled this journey of pregancy and labor and delivery for the sweet, precious baby Jesus. I think of Mary a lot lately.
I also can't help but remember two of my most favorite people in the whole world. Oh aren't they so excited about this precious baby coming? Jennifer has one coming too! Can you imagine?
I sit here writing my Christmas Eve blog and email that was started by Art, and passed on by Daddy, and now me.
Santa has come, the presents are all finally wrapped for my precious family tonight and tomorrow.
The doggies will have full bellies tomorrow, and just be happy to be with us.
Even the new baby has a few toys, some for a girl, and some for a boy, just in case.
I am about to go to bed, because this new found condition I am in leaves me very, very, tired, and it is WAAAAY past my bedtime.
Goodnight sweet friends and family. May your Christmas be as blessed as ours is this year.
Silent Night
Holy Night
All is Calm,
All is bright.
Happy Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
Love, Nikki
