Before even trying to get pregnant, we prayed for our little one every night. Our first prayer was that He would choose to bless us with a pregnancy and that it would happen in His timing. On Tuesday, June 30, 2009, that little test read "pregnant". There's no exciting story behind how I told Chandler; I just showed him the test. It was hard to think of something clever when I was overwhelmed with so many other thoughts. I didn't cry and I didn't let him cry, but that night we laid in bed and talked and cried and prayed for our little baby and for ourselves as we knew we had a long and exciting road ahead of us.
I began my student teaching semester in August of 2009, the last semester of my undergraduate career, and Chandler was going into his second month as a manager back at Best Buy. Along with the pregnancy, we were experiencing a lot of change in our life, but we were (and are still) very content.
The semester flew by, only in hindsight, of course, and despite battling swine flu, sinus infections, and countless colds, Waverly is big and healthy. At our last appointment we had an ultrasound that told us she is about 5.5 lbs; at this rate, I'm having a 9 lb baby. Oh my. But for now, we play "the waiting game" and slowly but surely everything Waverly is invading our little home.
The room is painted light blue all over (Chandler won that battle). We're going to be adding a "mural" of sorts to add some girly touches (that's MY battle).
We finally moved the furniture in, but are still waiting on one more piece. It's a cherry finish even though it looks much, much darker.
