Yay! Pure joy, is what I have felt for you lately. I'll have to email you my reaction of when I first read about your babies(plural, I could scream happy day). We still haven't met, but I know I can say you both deserve this happiness SO MUCH. Make sure to take a few great deep breaths next to him for me after his baths. I love the way newborns smell, especially after a bath!
Congratulations! I've followed you from Carrot's blog and am so happy for you!

It's been said, but he is beautiful! I am so happy for all of you. How are you feeling?
Happy One Week Birthday for baby Benjamin!
I'm so excited to get to meet him in person soon! We're so incredible happy for you and Marc and hoping that you will begin to get some rest soon!
We love you and are so excited for your little bundle of joy who just a week ago left his older sisters and his younger brother! So exciting! Life is full of miracles!
So happy for you!! What a great Christmas gift!! What an angel Tracey is! Praying that the Lord will bless her in this time of need.

YIPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you both. WONDERFUL!!! AMAZING!!! BEAUTIFUL... I could go on & on. Congrats.
so... i have not been blog hopping much at all lately and the past couple of days have been a little slow for me... so i was catching up on your blog and i kept getting tears in my eyes as i read your words and read about the joyous news of both babies.
but then, when i got to this posting and read it all... i am in tears and i can't stop sobbing.
i am so happy for you. my heart is truly leaping for joy because of the excitement i feel for you both.
seriously, i can't stop crying now.
anyhow, a couple of postings ago when you wrote those words from elder wirthlin, it was EXACTLY what i needed to hear tonight. i have been having such a hard time lately and i really needed to hear what he had to say about the Lord compensating the faithful for every loss.
i really needed to hear that. i have been super lonely and just feeling so down in the dumps about being alone... so thank you.
i am SO happy for you. i will be praying a prayer of gratitude tonight that Heavenly Father has blessed you with these miracles.
my brother and his wife have a little boy they adopted... and the day they got the call saying there was a baby for them was a day we will all remember forever. their baby was already 5 months old though, so they were parents of this baby the day they got the call. they had no time to prepare during the pregnancy... they could not be happier to have him in their lives.
thank you for helping us all to count our blessings.
Hello friend,
Megan I love you and your sweet family. I am the most thrilled that you have received this special baby boy. And can I just say I LOVE baby boys. Easton is such a mama's boy and I LOVE it. I know you and Marc will have the most fun, and the fact that he gets a brother to be buddies with is the GREATEST thing ever. I'm sorry I keep calling you probably think I'm a stocker but just can't wait to get all the details on this perfect little boy. I love you all and am so happy for you.

I hope you are both enjoying your sweet new little boy. A friend of mine posted this the other day and it made me think of you:
The White Roses
All the earth's mothers were gathered together at God's garden of flowers. Those beautiful budding spirits, who would someday come to earth, were nurtured and tended in the garden. A loving Father spoke to the mothers. "See the works of my hands, someday you will be the mothers to these radiant spirits." the garden glowed with the mixture of all kinds and colors. "Choose ye," He said. Now in the east corner of the garden, pure white roses stood as sentinels. They were not so colorful as the rest, but glowed with a kind of purity which set them apart. One by one, the mothers stepped forward. "I want the blue-eyed, curly haired one who will grow to maturity and be a mother in Zion." Yet another chose a brown-eyed, brown haired boy, full of life and love who would someday be a prince in a grand country. The garden buzzed with excitement as the others chose their own special spirits, they whom they would soon welcome into the warmth and love of an earthly home. Once again the loving Father spoke,"But who will take the white roses, the ones in the east corner of the garden? These will return to me in purity and goodness; they will not stay long in your home, for I must bring them back to my garden for they belong with me, but they will gain bodies as was planned. You will miss them and long for them, but I will personally care for them." "No, not I," many said in unison. "I could not bear to give one back so soon." "Nor I." said others. "We will take those who will remain and grow to maturity and live long lives." The loving Father looked out across the multitude of mothers with a longing in his eyes for someone to step forward. But there was only silence. Then He said, "See the most pure and perfect of all the white ones? I chose Him. He will go down and be a sacrifice for all mankind. He will be scorned, mocked, and crucified. He is mine own. Will not anyone choose like unto Him?" A few mothers stepped forward. "Yes, Lord, I will." Then another, and, "I as well," "Yes, we will Lord."
Soon all the pure white roses were taken, and they rejoiced in the choices of their mothers. The Father spoke again,"Oh, blessed are you who chose the white roses, for your pain will be a heavy cross to bear, but your joy will be exceeding beyond anything you can understand at this time." The white ones embraced their mothers, and so full was their purity and love that it
filled their souls with such endearment. Each mother knew they could endure the task. The greatest of all the white ones, gathered them as a hen gathers her chicks, and the outpouring of love surrounded each mother and child, consuming all the white ones as He prepared them for their task. And each mother who bore the weight of the White Rose, would feel the overwhelming love of God, as the all shouted, "Thy will be done."
In. Tears. I have no words. Blessings. Sweet, sweet blessings, and no two people deserve it more.
Hate to push, but you did say "soon". It's soon now.
YAY!!! So happy for you!!
Did you choose his name? I gasped when I saw what his name was--such a special name to me.
I am so, so grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed you with him!
