The more I read and look up on the amazing journey of pregnancy the more amazed I am at the miracle of life. This has been a wonderful journey so far. I realized early on that there was a lot that I could either worry about or just trust that all things do truly work out. So I picked the Gordon B. Hinckley approach that all things truly will work out. When Rob and I first met and he was still in his wheelchair quite a bit of the time we decided one summer day to go swimming at his Aunts house. There where a few things we weren't quite sure about for this outing like how we would get him in or out of the pool, if he could swim ect. (A few little minor things) but we just figured that we would just trust there would be a way that we could figure it out when we got there. As we assesed our options we realized that because of the step entry into the pool that the easiest way for him to get in was going to be if I rolled him to the side of the pool and tipped him in from his chair. The only other thing was that if I tipped him in he was either going to sink or swim and we where not quite sure which one would be more likely. I told him I could jump right in after we tipped him in if it looked like it wasnt going well! Luckily he did swim and not sink and swimming has come to be one of the things Rob enjoys most since his accident. We figure it will be kind of the same with kids, a lot of things we will learn as we go, trust in the Lord, consult with each other, and be there to support and love.

Candace!!!! I saw you comment on KJ's blog! Congrats on everything! You guys look amazing!
I am so glad that I get to follow along on your journey of pregnancy. When my brother and his wife were pregnant they named their baby Cletus the fetus. We called him Cletus until he was born. Funny huh?
Being parents is just like that. The best part is that the kid has never had parents before so it won't know if you are doing it wrong.
I worked at a pool from many years and one of the most inspirational things for me was this little old lady who was paralyzed on one half of her body. She would come to the pool every day and swim laps. It would take her about a hour to get her swimming suite, swim cap and everything together to even get into the pool. We all have are difficulties physical or otherwise but seeing this women made me think if she can do it so can I. I swim laps twice a week, it really helps with my scoliosis! I am thankful that Heavenly Father is taking care of us. Miracles Happen!
