BABY

Dave and I are thrilled to announce that Baby VZ will be here at the end of March! For a little background, We started trying to have a family a little under a year ago and after each passing month I became discouraged. Fears and lies began to creep up about why things weren't happening as fast as I had hoped. Through many prayers and encouraging people, I began to grow in faith that God had everything perfectly timed. AND HE DID! To start with, Dave and I just bought a first house in Ankeny. We have a permanent place for baby to call home. Second, the baby's due date (End of March) times it perfectly for me to go on maternity leave without returning to school before summer. I feel like God gave me little hints of hope by randomly sending me diaper coupons in June, two people had dreams that I was pregnant, and the previous owners of our house gave us a crib, stroller, and high chair for free. God is so good!! When the times comes, we will find out the gender but the name will be secret until his/her birth.Thank you for all the prayers that have already been proclaimed over this baby!
