TEXT MESSAGE FROM A DEAR FRIEND

"I have had you on my heart so much lately *tears* - I just want you

to know that you are going to be such a radiant and amazing mama.

And Aaron is like a dream dad! In these weeks that you wait

to get Arthur, know that I am praying over him every day

and that I am praying for you and Aaron also - that God would help

this time to go so quickly, that He would surround you with

legions of Angels on your trip there and back and that your transition

to parenthood would be the most precious time you've ever experienced.

Arthur is amazingly adorable, and I can't wait to meet him!!"

Just feeling so lucky to be surrounded by such great friends! Thank you, Shanda!
