Update!

Well, it sure has been forever since we've blogged here. I let Facebook take over for me for a while, but with our baby on the way, I figure this is one of the best ways to share what's going on in our lives, especially for family and friends that live far away.
So, as of today, Katelyn (Baby Akrami) is 21 weeks and 4 days!! I have been amazed at how fast this pregnancy has gone. When we first found out that we were pregnant back in July, I remember thinking that this was going to be a long 9 months! I can already feel the truth of when people say, "they grow up so fast"! I am really enjoying every day of pregnancy, but also trying to wait patiently to meet our sweet girl. :)
We are SO thankful for the blessing that God has given us. Every day now, when I feel little Katelyn move and kick, I can't help but smile and thank the LORD for this child He has given us. One of my favorite verses right now (I made a frame for the nursery with this verse written on it!) is 1 Samuel 1:27: "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him". This is my heart, O LORD.
