journaling - Valentine's Day '03 found me in the bath room of Ryan's house staring with a mix of fear & anticipation at a pregnancy test. I couldn't be pregnant, we couldn't afford for me to be pregnant. I was, & while a part of me was elated, part of me fell into despair. We found a place to rent, I couldn't work anymore because of pre-term issues, & the money Bryan brought home wasn't really even enough to support the 2 children we already had. There were nights I lay awake in our bed, crying, afraid that there was a real possibility that we might have to give you up for adoption. I prayed, we struggled, God held us in His hand. I am grateful every day that He blessed me with a champion for a husband, & for the priviledge of raising you.

TFL!
