Practice what I preach...

A couple of weeks ago, I posted yet ANOTHER...hummmm, let's call it a "Lindsey List". I mentioned the "highlight of my week" but was not able to tell all, or to reference my previous post "Spill it sister"...

I am going to be an Aunt (again) - Mark's brother, David, and his wife Karrie are expecting their first baby - God is so good!

After trying to become pregnant for over a year - we heard the sweetest sound in the world - a baby's heartbeat - on Thursday.

I am sure that you are wondering why I am acting like David and Karrie and I are all pregnant together - while that does sound like a chapter in my insane life, my attachment comes from this feeling I hold, almost as if I have sort of carried this baby in my heart for a very long time.

When Karrie confided in me (a year ago) that her and David were trying to get pregnant but having no luck - I was devastated for them, it was my mission to do all that I could to make this possible - at least all that God would allow me to do for this so deserving couple. I read - I learned - I prayed - I went to doctor's appointments - I read some more - I prayed some more.

Karrie is not only my sister-in-law, she is one of my very best friends. She knows my heart so well - I would be lost without her. While she has been by my side as my faith has grown to levels I never knew existed - I am so glad to have been by her side while her faith was tested on levels she never knew existed - none of this is by chance.

Another Fortenberry coming September 2010... Looks like Mark and I are next - maybe 2011!

So there you have it - I practice what I preach!

Any Questions?
