So much to LOVE about Fall


Fall is breathtaking I can't think of ONE thing I don't love about Fall. For me it brings back so many wonderful memories of high school football games, hot chocolate and camping trips with my family. But I can't help but feel this Fall will be the best one yet. I feel like I have been waiting for the arrival of Fall since before Summer even came. As I sat outside on my front porch in my white rocking chair as Parker napped, tears came to my eyes as the cool Fall air blew my through my hair. This past month has been a little hard for me between a deployment "scare", pregnancy hormones, and some dreaded news of a third deployment in the works, I couldn't help but feel like this beautiful crisp breeze was a sign from God of wonderful things that these Fall winds are going to bring. Not only will this season bring my husband home but it will also bring the birth of our second baby boy. I am not sure if this is our last pregnancy but it quite possibly could be. And the thought of something I have waited a long time to experience possibly being over makes me want to cherish every minute of it. I can honestly say the little stretch marks here and there, the number on the scale going up and the bruising I have around my ankles has taken a backseat to the joy I feel from the moments I sit and just stop to feel this little life move around inside of me. Miraculous....no other word to describe it. And although my husband isn't here to feel these little kicks I feel so blessed that he was here for Parker's pregnancy and I feel blessed that he "should" be able to be here for the birth of Hudson Michael. I hope everyone finds that this too will be the best Fall for them as well!

Cute post. Thanks for sharing ur personal feelings.

Take the test ABC's of Pregnancy and find out your knowledge of things you are supposed to do and more importantly, what you are not supposed to do during your pregnancy.

Take Care.

About Me

My photo
Our family started when Michael and I met in the summer of 2003. We fell deeply in love and married on April 20, 2006. We have been truly blessed and the BEST blessing that has happened to us is the birth of our baby boy Parker Gabriel Keenan. He was born on September 28, 2008 at 2am weighing 10.2 lbs and measuring 23 inches long. He is so amazing and Michael and I cherish every moment with him, never knowing when Michael might be deployed makes the time even sweeter. We love God and truly are trying to raise Parker to have a strong relationship with his maker. We miss our family but we are so thankful to be stationed closer to them. God is good!
