Our apologies for waiting so long to write this first entry. I(matt) will take the blame for that. I honestly haven't even known where to start. What should I say? How do I wrap up all of the emotion? How do I share all of the beauties of this wonderful time? These have all been questions that have prevented me from writing this entry up until this point. Today is different I guess...
Kati and I started trying to get pregnant on the 15th of May. We were unsure about the whole process: how long it would take, what things we could do to help make us "more fertile", etc. One thing we did know was that we really had no control in the whole process at all. We knew that we could do whatever we wanted, but in the end, God is sovereign over the womb and He is the one who decides if or when we get pregnant. Fortunately, for some reason only He knows, God decided to make it very easy for us. We got pregnant the very first month of trying.
On June 18th Kati took a pregnancy test. "Matt, come here." She handed me the test - two little lines. "No, that doesn't mean positive does it?!" I was in very much disbelief. Apparently Kati was to, because she ended up taking 5 pregnancy tests!
I will let Kati write the next entry and she can share with you about how the pregnancy has been so far. She's much better at explaining that than I am. We hope to update this at least twice a month. It should be a really cool tool for us since we have family all over the place who can't partake in the pregnancy with us in person.
We'd ask that you would pray for us and our baby. Pray that our baby would continue to grow and stay healthy. Pray that Kati and I would be able to stay connected amidst the craziness of the first trimester. Pray that God would prepare Kati and I to be good, godly, gospel centered parents. And most of all, pray that The Father would save our baby, set him or her apart from the womb, adopt him or her into His heavenly family.
