A Grell Tale

We are so glad you have taken time to check in on our lives. First and foremost, God is the author of this story. Every thing we do, say, and have is His.
Jared and I have been together since 1998, and married since 2003. After four long years of trusting God, he blessed us on August 1, 2009. Balen James is the most "perfect-for-us" little man in the world! We LOVE being parents and just can't get enough of him.
I love to spend time sharing our story with you, and I truly enjoy getting to hear your comments as well! We hope you enjoy watching our family grow. Thanks for stopping by.

It's the final countdown!!!

I had a doctor's appointment late yesterday. He said two or three times that he doesn't think I will make it to the end of next week. My contractions are still 2 minutes apart and getting a little stronger. It woke me up last night at 1:15 and was very painful. I laid there getting all excited and then after about 30 minutes they just disappeared! Today isn't quite that painful but a little stronger. If little Balen doesn't come on his own in the next week he is scheduled to arrive next Friday. It will be one week early but my doctor is going to be gone the whole week of my due date and said everything should be fine at 39 weeks. "MY" plan is to have him in the next few days(as if I have any control), but..if that won't work out we will go in Friday morning at 5:30 and go from there!! I am so pumped up and Jared is very excited. We know life is going to drastically change but that's what we have been begging for for four years!!

  3. It gets really exciting when you know you are about to meet your precious baby. Cherious every minute. It goes by so fast. It is hard to believe my baby is going to be a year old on Aug 19th. I am excited for both of you!!!
