2-4 and 4-6. I had been watching the clock all day, dreading that time. At 2:00 the visitation would start and I'd be missing out. Right before 2:00, one of my oldest and dearest friends with her mom rolled in, "We brought you a party!" they announced.
Sure enough, they began setting up my table with decorations, cupcakes, snacks, and drinks. While visiting with them for 30 minutes or so, I kept thinking, Oh dear, we aren't going to eat an eigth of all this food. I had assumed that maybe my family was supposed to have been here and they decided to bring all the food anyway.

| yummy snacks! |
But I was wrong! All that food wasn't just for us. At 2:30 in rolled my work crew! I was so completely shocked and amazed that first, my friend had organized this and second, that they all came out to cheer me up!

| love my Harmony family |
And yet, that wasn't the end! As they headed out, in came a second crew to cheer us up and celebrate you two!
 |
| sweet friends for years |
We are so incredibly blessed with such loving friends and family. By the time the party wound down and all had left, it was 5:00. They had me completely distracted and cheerful, that I didn't even realize I was missing the visitation. It was such a blessing to have such sweet faces to lift us up today. We are so fortunate. And it is these same sweet faces that are lifting us up in prayer daily, helping this miracle of a pregnancy carry along!
While we were being lifted up here at home, my family was being lifted up by an incredible outpouring of love up in Pennsylvania. Here's just a snipet:
