Dear Alaska

Wow, it’s been so long, I haven’t really journaled or written anything down this entire pregnancy so I am going to treat this blog post like a condensed entry. There has been so much feeling, most so beautiful and I don’t want to forget a thing about it.

It’s incredible, as I write this week 36 has just commenced. From the day of finding out you were alive in me I knew we’d meet, with two siblings in the heavens, you are the one chosen to see this life :) - (and I’ve never felt so blessed in my life to have the opportunity to be your mother). The closest I’ve felt to you has been walking along the sea. The first time you moved was the day before your fathers birthday, Rare clouds and double rainbows, you have been moving as I’ve seen some of the most beautiful sky-scapes! I never thought much of myself in the future, now I am trying to really see who I want to be, in community, and for you. As a mother I want to be such a pillar - and by God’s grace, He’s given me hope.

These pictures were taken in a place of great vision, family land. Our hope is to expand upon this vision while our family grows - Your very name means ‘Great Land’ :) We are so eager to see your gifts unfold throughout our life with you dear cherub, it is not long now <3
