The Morton Blog

Welcome to our blog!!! It is our hope to use this blog to keep our friends and family updated on the progress of little peanut while on our journey to 4o weeks of pregnancy! It is just  by God sovereign plan that we are even getting to experience the joys of such a blessing! In May of 2012 (way before I met my sweet husband) I had to have a surgery. The outcome of the surgery was because of a birth defect plus endometriosis I had less than a 2% chance of ever having a baby, and if I did get pregnant my birth defect would cause the baby to miscarry by 12 weeks. So, to find out a little less than 3 months into our marriage we were pregnant was a HUGE shock to say the least. We were very excited and even though I was certain I would miscarry I still told everyone! Jeff and I began to pray over our baby in our nightly devotion. We have always thanked God for allowing me to experience pregnancy, but we also told The Lord we knew he was a gift..... he was from God and not our own. Jeff and I have prayed our baby would have a heart that loved and served God, served others, and that he would bring glory to Christ! We also knew there was a huge chance we would lose this baby before 12 weeks, but our prayer has and still is that God is good in all things and that he would give us the faith we need to endure whatever the outcome of this sweet little life is. To God be the glory!
