Mommy was very anxious and nervous about flying and being pregnant with you. I started by having a cup of decaf coffee and reading the Bible to you. God is so good Sophia! He led me to numerous verses that reminded me not to worry and that God loves me, takes care of me and has things under control. All Mommy has to do now is trust Him. I pray Sophia that you will have so much trust in the Lord with all your life and remember how much he loves you and wants to take care of you.
After being reminded of God's care for us, I got ready and we were just waiting for Daddy to get home from work. I was so excited to be going to Florida (it's where Mommy was born) and seeing all my family down there.
Now I'll be honest Sophia, Mommy still had a little worry in her about flying. Mommy and Daddy got the airport early so it gave me more time to be nervous. Ask Daddy, I took a lot of pictures of us, to keep my mind occupied.
Daddy and Mommy were talking to a couple who had a little baby girl. In my head I thought 'Good, so if I do give birth, Sophia will have clothes and things to wear.' Then after awhile Mommy saw Mr. and Mrs. Goffin sitting in our flight's section. I thought 'Good, if I have my baby or something is wrong I now have other people we know and who are Christians.' Daddy thought I was so silly but even though I was, God still met me where I was at.
Well it was now time to board the plane and find our seats. Mommy sat on the aisle side so I can get up to walk, use the bathroom and stretch. Daddy was so good to me! He held my hand almost the whole way there, calmed me down, wiped away tears and just reassured me God has everything under control and I'll be ok. It felt like the longest 2 1\2 hours. I tried watching a movie, ate swedish fish, read the Bible, walked down the aisle bumping people's heads with my belly (it's not easy squeezing past people in a small aisle with a big belly!). We finally got there safely. I thanked God and for all the people who were praying for me that I didn't even know. We found our luggage and waited for Mommy's Aunt Cathy to pick us up.
You finally got to meet your great grandparents, my aunt and uncle and cousins!!! Mommy and Daddy were so tired we headed to bed once we got to your great grandparents house. We had to sleep in a small double bed... Daddy and Mommy just looked at each other, like this isn't going to happen!! It was 79 degrees in the house, my feet were swollen, there was no room in the bed for the 3 of us... it was going to be a long night!
I love you Sophia,
Mommy
