I love my old train.

A reason I am blessed today... I bought Nathan an old 3 piece, tin wind up train from good will that doesn't wind up anymore but it's still so cute & colorful and nothing like any he's got.. I brought it home & said Here buddy, this is for you.. its very old &has been loved by lots of other kids.. it doesn't work anymore but I bought it anyways because I thought you'd like it. His reply... "ohhhhhh, mommy! I love it! I I love my old train, thaaaaaank you!" He has slept with it under his arm for 3 nights now.

The first post..

Since the day i found out I was pregnant, I knew I was blessed. I was 6 weeks pregnant; 6 weeks after my father passed away. There was something different. I am convinced that I am raising an old soul. Every day Nathan has been amazing me with his soulful ways. I am starting this blog for anyone that would like to read along & share in my joy and love for this amazing little boy that God has given us.

Lets start with a little story I call, ''Nathan named himself''

His name came to me clear as day, at work. I was about 15 weeks pregnant and before I officially knew he was a boy.. I heard it twice. I felt it in my heart, mind, whatever you want to call it. Loud. and clear.  I thought, ok, that is a good strong boys name.. different than any trendy ones we had tossed around, common, plain perhaps, but, nice...
I, oddly enough, feeling like I was doing as I was told, texted the name to my husband, sat down and looked up the meaning on the computer.
I have always been obsessed with baby names and meanings of baby names, trendy names, popular names, successful names, dog names, quirky names, whimsical names...  My name means '' Bee''... Hmph... So my one of my pregnant missions was to pick a cool and trendy name for my child that meant something awesome...  Simultaneously I received two sets of words.... On my phone from Rob.. "I really like that" and on the computer, the meaning of Nathan,... "God has given"

And He has.
