Our little first child is on the way, and it seems so far
away, 4.5 weeks, yet with how busy Alex and I are, the days are so few with
time we can’t even fathom being completely ready in such a short amount of
time. I love that people seeing my belly it makes them smile, makes them
inquire on the dates and such, and makes them think back to their precious
memories of their babies being born. Being born is a big deal man! It comes
with so much responsibility to the parents and eventually to you. I ponder on
the fact that we are so blessed to have the opportunity to be entrusted with
such a sweet little girl. I already feel her personality and that is such a
simple and treasured gift of mine. Sometimes I find it hard to imagine she’s a
baby. I think about her birth. The time
when she is no longer completely controlled by me. The time when bad things can
happen to her, the time when the greatest joys will happen to her. One of her
most important days, presenting herself to this earth to prove that she is
worthy and will fulfill what she promised her Father and Mother in heaven she
could do. Its so bizarre to think about. I feel like a child myself and yet we
are being given a child to teach and raise in a way I hope to be approved by my
Father and Mother in heaven and here on earth. Nhiya will do great things, she
might not be the president one day, or the prophet’s wife, or a doctor, but I know that the impact she
will have on our lives will be great. Her potential can already be felt by me,
and her spirit was chosen to impact lives in the greatest of ways. The simple
ways that help ordinary people to the world realize the extraordinary
individual they are to their Father in Heaven. And that is great.
