I wanted to share my initial journal entry on the day we found out that we would be parents. I love all of these scriptures and I referenced them many times over the past few years, but the one that I wanted to shout from the rooftops that day and every day since is the verse from 1 Samuel...I have prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I ask of Him. HALLELUJAH!

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb
Psalm 139:13
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Psalm 139:14
I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb
Jeremiah 1:5
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him
1 Samuel 1:27
Today is a great day! Praise be to God! I am so humbled and excited and nervous and happy because....we found out that we are going to be parents! Baby on board!! Pregnant!!!
Thank you so much God for this gift, for this blessing, this amazing responsibility. I ask that you protect and shield our little one, help him or her to grow and develop properly, and be happy in his/her new temporary home. I pray for us as parents - that we will be strong, trusting, patient and always remember to keep you in the center of our family. We will need you now more than ever. Thank you for your faithfulness, as promised. And please forgive me for any anger or doubt or impatience I've had in my heart.
Amen!
