Never Say Never

I never thought I would be blogging... sharing personal thoughts and activities for all the world to see. With the arrival of Hayes I must admit that a blog would have made things a lot easier to get the word out. But news of our miracle baby has been shared and I hope to keep you updated from time to time.... maybe after the 2 a.m. feeding I'll have some time!

The other "never" I'd share is never give up hope. For nearly six years Jeffrey and I have prayed, begged, and occasionally tried bargaining with God to give us a child. The thing is that His plan wasn't necessarily in line with my timeline. But in looking back over the last six months I can clearly see that He was preparing us for Hayes. It's all so obvious now... why couldn't I see it??
