Oh Alyssa. This leaves me with chills and tears, my friend. What a sweet sweet post. That heaven cake is just so precious. What a neat, neat gift.
I prayed for you guys more times than I can count today, and I am continuing to pray for the little one inside of you...that he or she is growing and forming and that you will receive uplifting news on Monday. What a wonderful way to start the week.
God's timing is perfect....
I hope you get a restful nights sleep tonight, and I'm so glad you had friends and family surrounding you today.
happy "heaven day" sweet sydney!

prayers and blessing to you and your family today and always ~
