La Famille Armstrong

Hey everyone, I thought I would actually write a post on here since Mark has been my secretary for quite a few days now! Things are going well - not well as in I'm in labor, but well as in I am alive and in pretty good spirits today :-) Sorry if I never answer your phone calls or text messages... I was pretty lousy at that before all of this started. 

I know that according to laws of nature I will eventually deliver this little boy one way or another, but somedays, I actually think it will never happen. I knew I was crazy but that is definitely pushing the limits right? I know! Anyway, the past 2 weeks have been a great/not so great lesson in how we should hope in the Lord. No one would condemn me for being sad or depressed or disappointed in this waiting... but it really is just a temporary state and it isn't quite right to be all worked up over something that is COMPLETELY INEVITABLE!

I know, it's so exciting having your first baby and who wouldn't be anxious? But I asked God to give me a stronger faith in His provision and timing so I have no one to blame except me :-) (Sorry Mark!) But really, I'm excited, and some days are tougher than others but I'm just glad that I probably won't have to wait more than another, well, maybe 16 days... no worries! And I could always use a real life, applicable lesson in how God's timing always works out for the best and how we can always be learning from the situations we are in. Hopefully, I feel like this tomorrow! And none of this is to say I'm not actively praying for this baby to come today!

Anywho, we're so glad for all your support these last few weeks... I can't imagine how much more of a wreck I might have been without all your prayers and encouragement! Hopefully we can have some excellent baby news to report very, very soon!
