before and after

Getting closer

As I looked down into his little eyes and stroked his soft head, I felt a bond like no other. A bond that only a parent and a child can feel. But, that moment was all in a dream I had the other night. I woke up feeling desperate for time, for another month maybe? How are we going to raise this child? Are we going to love him no matter what? Are we going to do everything possible to keep him safe and secure? All of these questions feel my mind as the date approaches. You know what? We can't do this on our own. We can do it with God's help. He has promised that we can do ALL things through Christ who gives us strength. Phew! What a relief.

Now, the question is... Who will get here first? I had another doctor's appoinment last Thursday and I am 1 cm dilated and 20% effaced, which means, it's getting closer. After 4-5 days of that appointment, the baby could come any day, he said. Mom and Dad Reimer are expected to be here Friday afternoon. The Race is on!!!!

2 years ago...

I stood in front of my best friend declaring that I would love and commit to him for the rest of my life. A little nervous with many friends and family watching, but so confident that this was the man I would spend the rest of my life with. I wouldn't trade these past two years for anything. I have grown so close to him. He has shared my joys, sadness, downs and ups and has stuck by me no matter what the weather was like. I am more in love with him today and I can't wait to share another 2 years with him. Here's to my husband, Joseph.

APRIL?!

Already??? Wow, where does time zip to? I think this might be quite an eventful month for the Sasser family. I think most of our readers know that this is the month of a very special arrival, if all goes according to plan. If you don't know, it's the arrival of my PARENTS!!! They will be coming to Medford, OR on April 20. It will be so nice to have them around and show them all the great places of Medford and the surrounding areas. This is also the month of another VERY special arrival... Our little BOY!!! YAHOO!!! It has been quite the wait and it is still quite the wait. We are both getting excited to meet this little boy and be able to see what has been forming inside of me for 9 months. I am meeting with the doctor every week now until he comes. I have a doctor who is great at what he does, because he has been doing this thing for more than 30 years. It's nice to know that we are in good hands.
