And so the Name Lives On...

Well, it comes time to finally get to SHOUT IT OUT, be excited, and not keep a secret any longer... God truly has blessed us and now the Murphy name lives on!!!

"For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and i will listen to you." Jeremiah 29:11 & 12


Today I had the most exciting, nervous, yet amazing day in my married life with Chase by my side. We finally saw the most wonderful thing living inside and saw a heart beating from within me. Words can not express how joyful the little pictures of knowing there is a human being growing in the midst and I get to be the part of keeping the life growing and nourishing it for the next so many months of the little persons life. I get to be an incubator of life that God allows women to be. Oh the joys! No, we were not trying actively but we wanted a child in our family at sometime and had the thought "if God allows it to happen, then it will happen." Well, it happened and we are excited.

"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear... As soon as the sound of your greeting  reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy." Luke 1:42 & 44
I feel fine so far. The only strange craving so far has been wanting baby dill pickles to dip in some ice cream...mmm... and it still sounds good, even though I haven't tried it yet. I'll keep yall updated on cravings and growth!! Of course, I'm not that far along to know what the sex of the baby is... 
so for now we are saying "lil trout" :)
