Overwhelming Joy

A minute ago I (Laura) got up from the computer and walked around the apartment. I went to the window and the refrigerator and even peeked in the bathroom.  I don't really know where I was going.  I find that I do this when I am experiencing overwhelming emotions.  I am so thankful that today it is JOY.  I have so much of it, in fact, I don't know what to do.  I thought it would be helpful to write and share this joy with you.   I am speechless, humbled and so very thankful.  Here is a look at our joy, one of the many reasons why we praise a living and loving God. I am overwhelmed by this gift. Most often when I begin to pace the apartment I figure out that I need to cry out to God.  Thank you, Jesus, from the bottom of who I am.

I hope you enjoy the videos from our doctor's appointment this morning.


Oma and Opa, I think this wave's for you. 

Here's a sample of the heartbeat.
