Merry Christmas!

Words cannot describe how excited we are for our first Christmas with Tanner. We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God bless you and keep you.

Tanner four weeks old tomorrow.

Well life as a new mommy has taking some getting use to BUT oh so worth it. I am in love with my son. He is sleeping more at night and staying awake more in the day. He is definately mommy's boy. I love talking to him and holding him. He is eating good and growing fast. Billy is such a good daddy and it helps that we take turns with the night feedings. It is great for bonding. He is a special little boy. Nani is protective of Tanner and we all make a great team. My favorite thing is all of us hanging in the living room with a fire in the fireplace and the Christmas tree lights on and just being together. I love my boys all three of them. BILLY, TANNER, and NANI.

Tanner Heath Spivey has arrived!

Psalm 139:13-14 (New International Version)

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Indescribable...Unexplainable...

He created this, He know us by name...

Tanner's big day!

So I had a Dr. appt. today and looks like my litle guy will be here on Tues. They are inducing me on Monday and I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I am so ready to meet our son. He has had some issues with his kidney and now my amniotic fluid is low so they want to get the baby out safe and soon. I know God is in control because this morning I prayed for his will to be done not mine. I want what is best for this child. Please pray for us. Now I have all weekend to think about the big day. I wonder what he will look like. Mommy loves you Tanner!

Ready to meet our son.......

Well God is so good. I had a Dr. appt this morning and already dialated one cm. That just means we are under way. It means he could come tonight or next week. Basically
it is all up to Tanner at this point. Our little boy is already running the show. Ha Ha Billy and I are so ready to meet him and hold him. God is so good! We know he is in complete control. I am just staying busy and getting through moment by moment. His room is completely done except for putting up a few shelves and we hope to get those up today. I love his room because it is so peaceful and calm. We are so blessed with family and friends who have helped us and been there for us. We truly would not have what we have without all of you. So thank you! There are two scripture verses that I am clinging to at this point. "I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me." Phillipians 4:13 and "May the Lord continue to bless you and your children." Psalms 115:14 (THE MESSAGE). I know God is with us. I am posting a few pictures of his room so far and will post more later!

37 weeks and counting......

I am so ready to meet our son. I love this little boy so much. He is very active tonight and I know he is ready to meet us as well. His room is almost done and I love the way it is so cozy and calm in there just like I had hoped. I will post pictures in a couple weeks after it is completely finished. Just waiting for his chair and putting up a few shelves. Well getting close. I know God has his hands on us. The verse I am clinging to is "I can do all things through christ who strengthens me." (Including labor ha ha)

Wow! Hard to believe that I am over 32 weeks pregnant already. Billy and I are so blessed. Today I thought I was meeting Billy at work to put Tanner on our insurance, go to lunch, and go shopping and turns out that they were having a surprise pot luck for us at his office. What a blessing and huge surprise. I am so grateful. Billy works with some wonderful people and we are so fortunate. I have my 33rd week check up on Mon. and then the following Thursday October 8th we go back to Shand's for another sonogram. I know God is taking care of our son. He moves all the time. No particular time of day anymore just whenever he feels like it. I feel great too. Besides getting tired. I know this will be a big kid. I know he will be so special and I can not wait to hear him call me mommy. Today was great and I thank God for all he continues to bless us with. Not only has my Faith been stronger through this I know what it is like to truly turn things over to My Heavenly Father. I have complete trust in HIM!
