\"Feb<\/a><\/p>\n

Some days I still can’t believe the miracle gift that is happening at our house.<\/p>\n

\"Feb<\/a><\/p>\n

Three years ago on Valentines Day, David and I checked into the hospital for a D&C. \u00a0The day when not only our dreams for a baby ended, but the journey with a molar pregnancy began.<\/p>\n

Pink tulips have always spoken to me of hope and the promise of spring and new life; but when several people sent pink tulips to me during that time, they also began to symbolize hope for a healthy baby.<\/p>\n

The next year in March our dreams were dashed again, this time during our tenth anniversary trip.<\/p>\n

I still loved pink tulips; but sometimes I wondered if God had only given me a symbol of hope and not a promise to be fulfilled <\/a>that long ago morning.<\/p>\n

\"Feb<\/a><\/p>\n

Today we are nine days away from a due date with a precious baby who by all appearances is alive and well.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to hold this baby … to smell that newborn smell.<\/p>\n

\"Feb<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Feb<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Feb<\/p>\n

I just wish she’d get here already. \u00a0I want to tell her that I know it’s cozy in there, but I promise I’ll keep her swaddled and warm out here and there are four people already clamoring for turns to hold her.<\/p>\n

And I know there’s an all you can eat buffet going on in there, but I’ll happily keep her tummy filled and pat her through the tummy aches of getting used to the real world.<\/p>\n

There are warm blankets and soft onesies and darling little hats just waiting to be tried on.<\/p>\n

Please, baby, come soon.<\/p>\n

We’re all so ready to say hello.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
