27 is going to be a good year.

Wow. Today has been absolutely incredible. It actually started yesterday... I got a call from my mom around lunchtime,
"Would you like some company for your doctor's appointment in the morning?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Of course!!"
So, she hopped on a plane and flew to Nashville to stay with us for the next couple of days. A huge thank you to my wonderful mother-in-law Anna for calling my mom to suggest that she make the trip and for setting things in motion to make it happen (we wish you could be here too!). Also to Cindy and Keith, who so kindly provided a last minute flight to give me one of the best birthday gifts ever.

Yeah - it's my birthday. Which brings me to THE best birthday gift ever...

Baby Weaver is a healthy, beautiful, BOY!



What a perfect little miracle.

And all of that happened before 9:30am. A few hours after I got to work, a large group of my coworkers took me to lunch at Pie in the Sky (I could seriously eat pizza for every meal. it's the baby :)). Levi and my mom joined us for lunch and then came back to my office afterward for cookie cake and ice-cream (thank you, Krysen!).

When I got home, my mom and Levi created a birthday feast: filet, mashed potatoes, spinach, carrots. mmmm. Topped off with gooey cake (a name could not describe the majesty that is gooey cake). I have been spoiled.

We wrapped up the evening by watching the dvd of our sonogram. Oohing and aahing and marveling at this little boy that has/will change the rest of our lives.


Thank you all for sharing our excitement about this sweet little guy, and for all of your sincere and thoughtful birthday wishes. I am overwhelmed with pure joy today. Like God himself has wrapped me up in a bear hug, planted a big kiss on my forehead, and shared in a hearty, uncontrollable belly laugh.

Thank you for being part of it.

Hello sweet parents to be! So I know this is long but how beatiful and appropriate for this time in your lives!!! I love you guys!

"For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!"

Psalms 139:13-17
