Butterbean

And just like that.
There was Butterbean.

I love you, Butterbean, more than anything I've ever loved. I don't even know you, Butterbean, but God does, and that's all I need.

Tense days indeed, since Friday.
You see, we had our first appointment with the uh, you know, the doctor.
Our time tables slightly off, I came away with fright and paranoia. There was no audible sound to hear. A new appointment was set up for Thursday to see about you, my dear little Butterbean.

And then, we saw you. An inch long. With a flickering little light, called a heart. Beating rapidly at 184 bpm! And we loved you even more.
Our little Butterbean. I can't wait to meet you in person. Oh how I love you.
Your mommy is so happy.
Your daddy is so proud.
Relief, thy name is Jesus.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Praise Him all creatures here below!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts!
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost!
Amen.

Our little Butterbean.
