I know there are so many more milestones to add to the list. Blythe is such a gift to our family. When I was pregnant, one of Brett's everyday prayers was "God, please let us just know this baby," as we knew anything could happen at anytime. Our prayer is still to know her well and to know her heart. Thank you, Lord for letting us know and love on this precious girl. She adds so much to our little family. Bring on month 8!!
