Baby Joseph

We just found out the design of Josephs headstone is done. I am SO excited its finally finished and i think it turned out great!!! Usually a person would only think of what would go on their own head stone or their spouses or maybe a parents. It was a little hard thinking of what to put on our babies. I never thought about it before. I knew I wanted it to say Families are Forever because I know Joseph will always be our baby, and big brother to his siblings. Scott and I wanted more then that but didn't know what to say. We were looking around at all of the things we got from family when Joseph passed away to try to find something. Scotts sister, who is an amazing artist, drew a picture of Josephs hand reaching up to christs. She put a poem and a scripture on it. The scripture was 2 Nephi 1:15 "I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love."

When Scott and I read that we knew that was what we wanted to put on his headstone. It is just so true. Joseph right now is encircled in the arms of Heavenly Father. It is so hard to have Joseph away from us but I feel so blessed that we have another little one on the way. I am going in on Friday to talk to the specialist and to schedule my appointment for surgery. I am hoping we can have the surgery Feb. 14 or the 15. I have a good feeling it will work out ok and that we will be welcoming a new little baby girl or boy in July or August!! We will keep you updated on when i will have the surgery and when the good old bed rest starts!! Keep us in your prayers.
