Memorial weekend in May will be one to remember for us. I took a home pregnancy test and we were surprised to see those 2 pink lines appear!!! Needless to say we were thrilled. I had a doctor appointment with my PCP and figured we were at 5 weeks. We then scheduled with the Women's Center and at 11 weeks had our first ultrasound and doctor visit. It was amazing to see our little person at almost 2 inches long. We saw the heartbeat moving so fast and the baby moving arms and legs and stretching out all the way for us. Besides feeling pregnant I still had no baby bump, so I was excited to know that there was actually something in there growing ;)
Baby Cook is on the way. Coming soon February 4, 2013.
We are so excited to begin this journey. The Lord has blessed us tremendously through our marriage and life together so far and we are ever so thankful for His provision and continued blessings that we know we don't deserve.
Please pray with us and for us as we continue to prepare to depart for Japan on August 13th. We still have packing, some extra paper work, and one more speaking engagement scheduled before we leave. Our commissioning service will be at our home church in Ramseur, NC on Sunday, August 5th at 6pm. If you are in the area, you are more than welcome to come, email or contact us for any questions. We are thankful for the opportunity to go and are thankful for those whom the Lord has provided to help send us. Thank you.
