Lisa and Jason sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

First comes love...

Then comes marriage...

Then comes a baby in a baby carriage... (July 4th, 2012!!!)

And this baby is a BOY!!!!

Psalm 127:3

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Jason and I are elated at our soon-coming inheritance!  And since for some of you, this is your first word of our soon arrival so I'll rewind a little bit...

Jason and I got married on November 6th, 2009.  The happiest day of my entire life.  When asked the always occurring question, "When are you guys gonna start having kids?".  Our response was always, "When the Lord thinks we're ready"...Now of course, we had our own preferences for when the Lord would think we'd be ready.  We'd say "3 years" or "4 years" or "After we get a promotion" or "When we move back to Florida".  The list goes on and on..

On November 6th, 2011, we went out to celebrate our 2-year anniversary one of our favorite restaurants, P.F. Changs.  And somewhere between the Chang's Spicy Chicken and the Mongolian Beef, I started to feel a bit queasy. So we packed up our food to go and I made a mad dash out the door.  Unfortunately, most of my delicious dinner ended up in the parking lot of P.F. Changs  :-).  Brushing this off as "motion sickness" from the car ride there, I continued on to work the next day in complete denial of the new addition inhabiting my womb.  As far as I was concerned, we weren't pregnant because we were waiting on the Lord to deem us "ready".

So after running into 3 pregnant women at work, doing to researching on "cramps but no menstrual cycle", and hearing the word "baby" about a million times, I figured God was trying to tell me something....Maybe we were ready?

So after work, I went to the grocery store and picked up an at home pregnancy test, thinking that the results would surely be negative.  And when I saw those two lines, I nearly fainted.  Could we be ready???  So I called Jason into the room and broke the news.  His response was "Lisa!!"  as if I had done something to make this happen. LOL. I was like "Jason!!".  But we were excited...We immediately prayed, knowing the Lord would take care of us and then proceeded to call our parents and siblings.  And the rest is history!

So now, we are sharing our excitement with all of you. This blog will pretty much just be our countdown until little Baby Noble.  Random thoughts, little achievements, getting the little room ready and much,much more...so join me as I document this new step in my already blessed life...Thank you so much for following along..

Come back again next week!
