Oh my goodness Kendra and Ryan and Makenzie, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :) I am over the moon excited for you three. I have been reading your blog for awhile but have never commented before. I have been checking multiple times a day for the past few days and hoping to see a post like this - my heart is so happy. It is wild how excited one can be for somebody they have never even met. The song that started playing when I visited your blog this particular time was "Somewhere over the rainbow" - I believe that somewhere over the rainbow, Makenzie is looking down on you and Ryan, and is so excited to become a big sister. :) Congratulations again, I wish you a happy and healthy nine months. This precious new baby is already loved by so many. Please know you have so many people lifting you in prayer. :)

Yah!!! I am so, so, so excited for you! I have been waiting knowing that you would know yesterday and hoping and praying that you hadn't written for the very reason that you wanted to take some time for you guys, to tell your family etc! I wish there were words to express how thrilled I am for you. I know Kenzie is with you along every step of this journey and that she is already an amazing big sis and helped handpick this sweet little one coming to you-what a lucky little one to have such an amazing angel watching over him/her!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers as always and I look forward to hearing about this newest, most amazing journey.
Soak it in sweetie, you guys deserve this and all the happiness in the world!! Congrats and a big hug to Ryan too-what an amazing father and husband he is and I know he will be beside himself with excitement too.

I am so happy for you and excited for this baby who will have the most wonderful mommy!

Kendra and Ryan..words can not express how happy I am for you. I love you both so much. I know this journey has been long and difficult for both of you and for all of us. I already love this little one so much, along with our Gracie and our beautiful Makenzie. Being a grandparent has been one of the most wonderful, beautiful opportunities that I have been blessed with. Knowing that my family is mine forever brings me a joy beyond measure. I know that there will always be trials in our lives, but these happy moments for my children make me smile and remind me that the Lord hears and answers our prayers and wants us to be happy always. I love you!!! ;-)

Oh my....I am so happy for you and Ryan. I love you both so much and have prayed daily that this would happen this round. I know how hard it is to wait and wait for a baby. I can't imagine how hard it has been for you but now....well, the wait was worth it. I know prayers are answered even though we don't think they are sometimes. This child will bring all of us such joy. I am so excited and happy I can't even think straight right now. Kenzie is probably jumping up and down and is happy for you too. Enjoy this time and drink in all the love that you will feel from this child, from Ryan, your family, our family, and all your friends.
