"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully," Romans 12:6-8

Anticipation…

There is so much anticipation in pregnancy. Waiting to get to that “safe” point in pregnancy, waiting to see the baby in that first ultrasound, waiting to feel the baby move--- and biggest of all, waiting to meet your little and find out boy or girl! Ali is due at the end of the month with baby number two. With her first coming a little early--- we have been prepared to get a call all week at work, that Baby Cook is on the way! Until then we will wait in anticipation and take maternity photos!

I met Ali approximately 18months ago when bringing Hannah to the doctor. For a while she was one of our nurses--- now she’s a coworker and friend. It has been so much fun to go through pregnancy with someone (our due-dates are about a month apart). Today I was blessed to take some pictures of Ali and big sister Ila. It made for such a great morning. Both Ila and Ali were troopers with the occasional drops of rain, and we got some really great shots. I have no doubt in my mind that Ila is going to be a great big sister and that Ali will taking being a mommy of two littles in stride.

Ali--- thanks for being such a great coworker and friend. I am so very happy for you and cannot wait to meet your newest addition. Play dates with our little’s will be a must while we’re both out on leave in-between eating bon-bons and relaxing of course.
