The Boy I Never Knew I Needed

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a picture of Beck with the caption, "I thought I would be happy having a bunch of girls. A boy wasn't part of my plan. Luckily, however, Heavenly Father knows me better than I do and knew I needed this little guy. He is the sweetest and most loving baby (and so stinking cute!) 

When the ultrasound tech told me it was boy, I didn't really have any reaction to it. I just thanked her and let her finish up the exam. Aaron had already started his new job in Utah, and so I had gone to the appointment on my own. I called Aaron and told him the news. He was, as you could imagine, very excited. He always wanted a boy. He loves his girls but was more than ready to add a boy to the mix. As I drove to my Mum's house, I remember these words entering my mind, "This was no accident. He was meant to be a boy, and he was meant to come to your family at this time." I remember a wave of comfort and peace come over me. I knew that Heavenly Father had a plan for our family, and that this little guy was ready to come join us. 

As the months went on, I became more and more excited to meet him. Especially when we decided his name should be Beck. When the time came to meet this little guy, I fell instantly in love with him. He was so cute! I held him close to me and I haven't let go. Beck has not been an easy baby. For a while, I thought his favorite thing to do was cry, and trust me I did a lot of crying too. Thankfully, however, we have started to get into a good schedule. I swear everyday I grow more and more in love with him, and the new things he is learning to do.

 I thank Heavenly Father everyday for my two gorgeous girls, and my handsome boy. He truly does have a plan for each and everyone of us. I couldn't imagine this little guy being anything else then my little Beck.
