and all through the house, Momma Bear was doing laundry, with no time to pout. The dishes were cleaned, and placed in the cupboard, as the house sat so quiet, not even an utter. Dad hurried home from calling his games, then packed moms 35 bags away in their sleigh. All of this bustle, was completed so quick; as we anticipated a gift not from St. Nick. No storks will be needed, to bring us our loot; just a doctor and nurses will help us induce. So tomorrow we'll meet you, the battle is won...Merry Christmas to us, we've been given a son!
We have anxiously waited for this day to come. Now that it is here, it seems so surreal..
You have not been very cooperative with our plans as it appears the name Bear is very fitting considering your nice long hibernation; nevertheless, it's time for you to come out! Two very special people are waiting to hold you and love on you...not to mention everyone else who can't wait to do the same.
Our prayer is that you feel the Father's love through His Son Jesus early and often in your lifetime. Daddy and I will love you unconditionally. Even so, our best attempts to love you will pale in comparison to the agape love of our Heavenly Father. We have prayed for your destiny to lead you down the narrow path and for your life to be an example of Jesus Christ. Your daddy and I are far from perfect but we do have some things right: 1) Christ is the center of our home and marriage 2) we are very much in love with each other and 3) we are already in love with you!
You were an unexpected blessing conceived in a time of testing. Yet, God knew all along the road He had planned for the three of us. We want you to know that you are loved beyond words, blessed beyond measure (because your daddy says we are the coolest parents ever) and more perfect than our wildest dreams.
