It's A Girl!

Did I shock some of you? Were some of you expecting me to announce that I was pregnant with a girl? Well, there is a girl on the way, but it isn't mine.

The baby girl on the way is Destiny Promise Kuchinka. She is Joe and Amy's first child (they are the smiley happy couple in the photo). Joe and Amy have been married for about a month or so longer than Ed and I. They have strongly desired to have children and have been trying for quite some time. Destiny is a result of standing on God's Word and believing in faith that He would watch over His Word and perform it. They knew that Psalm 37:4 says in the New King James Version, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."

The picture of the happy couple was taken at a shower hosted at Club 3 Degrees on Tuesday, January 10, 2006. Destiny received many great gifts including lots of books and very styling clothes. She is going to be the best dressed baby in the world! There was great food, fun, and fellowship. We closed out the evening praying for Joe, Amy, and Destiny. We prayed for the remainder of Amy's pregnancy (she is due on February 18th). We prayed for the right medical staff to be available when Destiny makes her arrival. We prayed for a safe delivery for Amy and Destiny. We prayed for a smooth transition from a happy couple to a happy family of three! (I can't remember if we prayed for this, but I am pretty sure we did! If not, I have prayed that for Joe, Amy, and Destiny.) My eyes are tearing up just writing this post because it was such a powerful time!
