Thea is three months today!

For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 1Samuel 1:27


3 months ago Today I was at the hospital having Thea! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how much she has grown in 3 short months. She truly is a blessing to us. Her brothers adore her. Ashton will often say, "I'm so happy daddy brought our baby home to us". It is so cute...even though I would like to get the credit for getting the baby out and home! Landon loves to hold her with me and say, "rock the baby" and try to rock her. Quintin can often be found sitting next to her swing or bouncer reading her "to sleep" at night. We were shocked to see how well he really can read. When he reads to us he stumbles and struggles, but when reading bible stories to his sister, he has no trouble. The verse above is so special to me, as I prayed for a baby girl after Ashton and Landon were born. First and foremost I asked our Heavenly Father for a healthy baby who would grow to love and serve Him. But I also prayed that this time it might be a girl, as I longed for pink clothes, baby dolls, and someone who would be interested in sewing, crafting and shopping with me. God said yes! Now my prayers are that I might raise her to be a Godly help meet and mother, that we would have a close relationship, and that someday she will marry a man who loves the Lord and that they will serve Him together.
May God give me the wisdom and guidance to raise her according to His will!
