The fruits of our labor

Dear raspberry sized baby inside momma's tummy,

We haven't got to see you yet... but it's only one more week until we get to meet face to face!   We're going to take mommy to the doctor next Tuesday, and will say hi then.  

It's starting to feel more tangible to me now.   I'm feeling the love I have for you that will grow and grow and grow from now until forever.  My friends are all having babies like crazy, and every single one says that the experience of holding that frail, helpless, warm body close to my heart the first time is indescribable.  I'm not sure I want to wait 7 more months for you...  maybe we can time warp it to October... then again, I think us waiting for you will make it all the more sweet.  

That's a picture of me at the carnival with momma and your big brother close to my side.  I think you are going to either really love, or really detest, lemonade after this next few months.... and, of course, you'll be ridiculously good looking, boy or girl...  :)

You are due on the same day that my mom died.  November second.  He gives and he takes away.  I
know His timing is perfect.  And you'll be perfect.  Just like Mom.

Love,
Daddy

Mommy --

You take my breath away, literally.

You're my little Raspberry Oxygen Junkie, I love you.

I am in love with your Daddy.

He buys my lemonade, thats love.
Youll find a person, that God will give, He will love you fiercely and you will let Him.

I talk to you in between me remembering to breath heavy every now and then, you have swept through every part of my body and knocking on every room in my heart. Breathe all you need little one, if it means mine :)
I talk to you when its just quite moments with you and me

I hope you can hear Worship now, its second from where you've come from but, its beautiful, I touch you and pray over you in church while we worship, I want your cup filled up all the time by Him, you are His Beloved and He wants to, because He loves you.

Sweet & Salty

Mommy:

You are the size of a blueberry and your brain is almost complete, your kidneys have just snuggled into your little body and you are growing like a dandelion.
You haven't craved chicken sandwiches lately, mostly sweet & salty and that would describe your Mommy :)

You have a brother named Zayin that is 7 years old, its Rodeo time here in Houston and hes having a 
blast on all the carnival rides! Dont worry youll get your first butterflies from a ride here soon.

 I cant wait to take you for a ride that will bring all the giggles to the top of you. 

Today we had church, God moved and the hearts of the people listened and that's all that really matters little one...that God is moving (or moving us) and we are open to being touched by Him.

Today I felt you flutter in me today for the first time, thats how god moved me today, how my heart listened to Him. You also took your first communion, how stinkin blessed are you! 

Its not always sweet my love, this life....but, God says you are salt and Gods love is always sweet. When you use your life to give, youll always find God and His sweet love. Sweet & Salty....now wheres the potatoe chips and ice cream...your catching on already ;)

Tickles & Kisses

Mind over Belly

From Mommy:

Miracle.

There's a miracle growing.

Gods tangible miracle

and Were excited! We cant wait to meet you, right now you're the size of a grain of rice and well that's cute.

If there's ever a time to know anything about a baby, and the break-a-leg tries on explaining the miracle that grows and flourishes, the time is now and tomorrow and the next day. There is a heaping amount of information at your fingertips today. Theres a blog dedicated to just craving of pregos..hmm?

Daddy and I will update you and the rest of the Fuller baby followers on how awesome your life is and will be, simply because, we serve an amazing God.

This picture is you at 6 weeks and 2 days old

I crave chicken sandwiches with LOTS of pickles

you like to eat-every 10 minutes

and Im not complaining :)

Love, Mommy

From Daddy,

We have talked about you already like you are days away from coming into the world.  Sometimes as a girl, sometimes as a boy.  Equally exciting, just the same.

A little apple seed inside a womb, helpless and almost microscopic.  In only a few weeks, you will have fingers, toes, a mini, yet vastly expanding, brain and, most fascinatingly, a heartbeat.   A tiny heart... probably could fit on the pinhead of a needle.

I already love you; I can't wait to meet you, but I guess patience must kick in -- because it's going to be a while!

Mommy and you will have many dates to Chick-fil-A... I can tell...  we're out of pickles again (and chicken)...

Love,

Your Father
