Well, guess what? This maternity photography session is with my wonderful and beutiful wife, Monica! Yes, as the Bible says, we are "with child". Monica is already an amazing mom. She eats well, stays active and never complains. She is reading books and trying to exercise to be sure she is in shape for the delivery. She has had many long conversations with friends and family who have been down the pregnancy road before seeking experienced answers. Needless to say, our parents are thrilled. They were so happy for us. We just got back from visiting them in Oklahoma City. They really love Monica. They told me she was their favorite. I think they still like me.....? Dad said they want her to come back soon, and I could come also.....?
Of course, we told our families right after we discovered our little treasure. At first, we didn't tell everyone. We thought it best to wait for the first 3 months to be sure everything was going well and adjust to this ourselves. Gradually, we have been telling others. Now, we share it with all our friends. Thank you to all who have been so encouraging and uplifting. You energize us with your thoughtful support and words of wisdom!
We have begun thinking about all the baby accessories we will need. as well as an ever increasing "to-do" list. It is interesting to remember the "pre-baby" days when we thought we were so busy, and my, how quickly perspectives change. And, of course, this is even before the baby is born. But, we know it is all worth the chaos and business.
The thought of sharing this gift with Monica is very warming to my heart. We are praying to find the wisdom and discernment needed to raise a child in today's world.
There are so many things I want to say, but the words fall short of expressing how abundantly blessed and joyful I am. thanks for taking the time to read this and be a part of our story!
Have a great day!
Curtis, Monica and Baby
