Happy Birthday Levi!!!

My little baby boy is one year old! Where did the last year go?
I am so, so thankful for my little man. Some of you know this, but we had to try and wait quite some time before we were blessed with Levi. It was a difficult, impatient 18 + months, but God's timing is always best. I grew in those months...I learned to put my trust completely in God and His will. One month I prayed, "God, please let me be content with whatever happens. Even if you choose not to bless us with children, help me be happy. I trust you." It was that month that I got pregnant.
It was also a long, unsure pregnancy, as I had a large uterine fibroid that caused my doctor to fear I would miscarry, or that Levi would have to come really early. But God's hand was on Levi, and he was healthy and protected for 9 months. He grew as he was supposed to, and the only complication from the fibroid was that I had to have a C-section.
The wait for Levi was most definitely worth it! He is such a JOY in our lives and really "lights up our life". He is the sweetest, happiest, funniest baby....and what a GREAT personality he has. I love him to pieces. :-) I love watching him grow, change, and learn. Every stage so far has it's fun times.
