What a different life I have now that I am a wife and a mother! During the past many years, I married my best friend (May 2009), and after 15 month of trying to conceive, we began the wonderful journey of pregnancy (Feb 2011) and parenthood (Sept 2011).
Cameron and I had been good friends for six years when we married, and we are better friends by the day! Our marriage has had it's trials with Cameron losing his job early on and being unemployed for nearly two years, with job struggles for me at times, and with the struggle to get pregnant and financial difficulties. During all of those times, we clung to each other and to God's faithfulness and promises. He never ceased to amaze us with His goodness and provision.
Josiah, our precious son, came to us six weeks early, much to our surprise! It was a very fast and pretty straight-forward labour, less than five hours! I was blessed to be able to do it with no drugs, so I was euphoric afterwards, loving all of the oxytocin surging through my body. Josiah was in the NICU with no serious problems for three weeks and we were ecstatic to finally be able to take him home with us. He is still a small fellow, but tall like his daddy. We adore him and are loving each stage as it comes. He's fourteen months old now and into everything, but I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
We are still serving in our church here in Hamilton, Fellowship Baptist Church, and we've enjoyed it immensely. Because we are moving to Christchurch in January for Cameron's Air Traffic Control training, we will be leaving our wonderful church family up here, which will no doubt be difficult! We are looking forward to serving in a wonderful church down that way, though, and we are eager to continue to serve the Lord wherever He leads us.
There's the latest about us, now to get blogging again!
