Cyrus and God's faithfulness

As many of you know we tried for several years to get pregnant and lost two babies in the process. Eight days ago I gave birth to our son Cyrus David. The journey toward parenthood has been a hard one for us, filled sometimes with many tears, questions and an aching heart.
 BUT through this process God has brought me to a deeper sense of trusting him and he has showed us his faithfulness in a thousand ways over the past three years. This past February we lost a baby whom we named Grace. After loosing her I was devestated and heartbroken but in the midst of the pain I felt like the lord asked me to do something in faith to show him I trusted him. I felt God ask me to buy a newborn baby boy outfit. Are you serious lord ? I asked. I didn't do it right away because I was so scared. What if those clothes are always empty? What if we can never have kids? What if? What if? What if?  My heart and emotions ragged against me but I knew God had always been faithful to us and this was no different even though it felt hopeless. I bought an outfit and here it is 10 months later....
We got pregnant the next month so unexpectedly :)
