Redefining Ourselves

We are awaiting Fletcher Johannes Westphal's arrival. His arrival will change how we define ourselves. We will no longer be just a couple, we will be a family. We will proudly add mother and father to the long list of titles we have in both our personal and professional lives. We relish this thought and are looking forward to it.

In the past 35 weeks, we have learned a great deal about the miracle of conception and pregnancy. We are utterly amazed that my body has grown to accommodate our son and all his needs. Who would have thought! Luckily, I haven't had any problems with my pregnancy so I have enjoyed every moment, especially sharing our joy with our family and friends and all the belly kisses and rubbing. Fletcher was created out of our love and he will be raised in the shadow of that same love. Our new roles and our hopes and dreams for our little miracle will soon be a reality.
