We are officially 37 days away from the due date. I've said it over and over but we can hardly believe this is happening. Rachel has been feeling well and like I tell her all the time she's just so cute pregnant. She's a trooper as her hips bother her during pregnancy but she just focuses on how much she is enjoying it. She recently was able to become a stay at home mom, with her two precious babies Marcus and Cleo. That has been amazing seeing her thrive in her new path of life. She is an amazing mother!
We plan to head to Wichita as soon as she has any signs of labor. The last Dr. appt. we found out that he is head down and is measuring just right on track for size. This coming week is the very last week we don't have an appt. After that we will be heading to Wichita weekly. We ask for prayers for safe travels and stamina to keep up with the next few months. Owning our own business has so many perks. Being able to go to Wichita when we need to is one of them, but we won't be able to have typical maternity leave but we are confident together we can do it!
Looking back over the last four years of this journey it feels so amazing to be at this point. If I would have told myself 4 years ago that all of this was possible I don't know if I could have believed it. We started Bling with the hopes that it would get us to the point that we could have a chance at surrogacy. Building the business was the most challenging thing I could imagine. There were times building Bling that I just didn't think I could do it, I certainly wouldn't have thought I could do it if I would have known what was in store for us. There were also times that we just felt hopeless that we would ever get the chance to be parents. Through those times God was really able to show us the power of prayer and faith. Even when it felt too hard, we never stopped believing his plan was perfect. Now not only do we have a baby coming but God has provided us with a team of managers at Bling that exceeds even my highest expectations, at a time when we need it the most. His timing is perfect. We are so ready for the next blessing and all that lies ahead!
