My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)

Griffin's Baptism

Sunday was G's big day.  He was baptised at church, and was able to share it with lots of wonderful family!  My parents came over from Indiana, my sister came down from Chicago and my aunt Jean came up from Evansville.  Matthew's aunt, uncle and cousin drove up from Decatur for it as well. 

The weekend started with my birthday on Saturday.  The dreaded Big 3-0.  Thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.  We picked my aunt up from the airport, and she got to see our house for the first time.  The last time she was here was our wedding, and we didn't have our condo yet.  It was so nice to spend the day with family and catch up.  For my birthday dinner we all went to a hibachi bar, and it was so much fun!  The food was delicious, and I think everyone had a great time.  Of course they had to tell the waitress it was my birthday so I got the full bday treatment :o)  My very own hibachi chef hat, happy birthday was sung and I the special birthday desert.  We're not excactly sure what that desert was but the whipped cream on it sure was delish!  Lol!  After dinner we went for frozen yogurt.  It was a great way to begin my 30's. 

G's baptism went wonderfully.  He was such a good boy.  Even with the bright lights of the sanctuary shining in his eyes he was good.  He didn't even fuss when the pastor poured the water on his head.  Once church was finished we had a great lunch to celebrate G's special day.  Even though he won't remember it, it was a wonderful memory for Mommy.  A year ago I wasn't sure we would ever have the opportunity to baptize our child.  What a difference a year makes!  He is such a special little boy and we are thankful every day for this amazing little blessing that God has given us!
