Our Family Begging Part 3

  Months had come and went. The further in the pregnancy I got the more I thought about baby names, and getting prepared for the little ones arrival. I never really wanted to find out what the sex of the baby would be until I had the baby, but because I was going to be a single mom I rethought the idea. Eventually I came to terms that I need to find out.
  June 2007 I found out that I was going to have a little boy. I was thrilled because I would have a son to carry on our family name unless his father would miraculously want to be a part of his life. I got the baby's name down to two choices: Joel Teylar or Prestyn Michael. As time grew I caught myself calling the baby Joel. My mom liked Prestyn. My mom tried making a bet with me. If I screamed during delivery she was going to name him Prestyn, and if I won it would be Joel. I already had his baby scrapebook as Joel before he was born because it was what I was set on.
   Sept 2007 just a month before Joel was born my grandma passed away. I had a hard time with it because I was looking forward to her meeting her grandson. I even had it planned that the month after the baby was born we would travel down to see her. The Lord had other things in mind. I rejoice because she is looking down from heaven on us, and she is holding Baby "E' for me.
