Becky Back Home
Well, Becky got released from the hospital today. It has been a L O N G 11 days. As you now know Will arrived on Wednesday a full five weeks earlier than anticipated. I guess he heard how great his momma and daddy are and just could not wait to get here. It has truly be an exercise in trust, faith, and patience. God has really used this situation to change my prayers. I began to pray more and more not that God would do "this or that", but that He would change my heart to be ready and able to accept his plans. There was definatly a fear that kept poking its head in my way, but Beck and I knew that God was and is big enough and powerful enough to heal and protect.
Will is still in the NICU, but is doing great. They say that he is ahead of where he "should" be. He was born with a fighters spirit, and Beck and I both agree that he must have no idea that he is small. I had a friend say to me the other day "can you believe how much you love him?" She is so completly right. There is no word to describe how much you instantly love your child. As we were finishing up the relase paper work today, a lady came in and gave Will a new testament bible as a gift from the chaplin service. She told us that if we would like we could have someone "bless us and our child" Beck and I both know she has the absolute best intentions, but I could not help saying how blessed the three of us already are. Thank you all for your continued prayers and love. Keep praying that Will grows quickly, so he can come home soon.

Momma's Hello
Well I have to say hello to all, because this is my first blog on this site. I have to admit it is a little frightening when you sign on and it is counting down the days, hours, and seconds until I experience extreme pain! I do have to say we are getting pretty excited around here to welcome Will into our family. However, Brent and I have still not aggreed on a middle name for our child, so of course with Brent's fun thinking approach to life, the plan is that we will just draw a name out of a hat at the hospital once the child is born. We have narrowed the name options down to three and I guess once Will is born we will draw his middle name. Kinda crazy I know, but unless I can somehow figure out a way to convince Brent that he wants the name I want, this is the plan.
We went to the Dr. last thursday and he is growing on schedule and everything looks great. I was not real thrilled of the amount of weight I had gained but we will just have to deal with that. He has been moving quite a bit and sometimes I call him my little jumping bean because I don't know what he is doing in there, but he must be having fun. We are now going to the Dr. every two weeks and few weeks from now we will go to every week. I think that is when it is going to seem like, oh my goodness here he comes! This is really happening.
We appreciate everyones love and support and can't wait to have pictures of our little one to share.

Merry Christmas to an Un-Born Kid
So Christmas has come and gone, and it is now time to settle down and get ready for the next major step...The birth. But before we get there lets talk about the "haul" Will took in this Christmas. 
Here we have a kid who will not be born for another 2 and 1/2 months and he is already getting more things than I am. Now I have heard the resounding feedback of "Well, get used to it" and trust me I am perfectly fine with him getting tons of Christmas presents...BUT HE IS NOT EVEN BORN YET! Seriously folks, what use does an unborn child have for a dog that teaches him his colors and numbers. Now, don't get me wrong I've had a blast playing with that dog, and I have never been so good with my colors and numbers. I appreciate the review in kindergarten education, but Will could not care less at this point. We have decided that to fix this situation, we will simply re-wrap all that he got this year to give to him next year, and for those of you who gave him the wonderful presents, we thank you, but next year when Christmas comes all your wonderful gifts will be under the tree for Will and the from tag will read "Mommy and Daddy". That's right we are hijacking your gifts to use for our own. Of course I say all of this mostly in jest. We truly do appreciate your gifts to Will. Heck, I bought him 4 or 5 things myself. Thanks, and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and a fantastic New Year.
