The day started off with a beautiful wife commenting "I can't believe this day is finally here." For those of you unaware (trust me, 'unaware' is one thing we are not), today-June 29th 2007-marks the due date of our first child. Over nine months ago, on Wednesday October 18th 2006, Natalie and I received the joyous news of a baby soon to come. The time between that moment and present has been filled with wonderful memories:
- Running marathons, baby showers, graduating seminary, sisters getting married, growing bellies, and the meeting of our new church family in Fayetteville GA (Berachah Bible).
Many of you have prayed for us during this time and for this we are grateful. Our God has been gracious and kind. We give Him praise as we await the next coming hours. This blog is to keep you, the ones we love, updated on what is going on in our growing family. Please visit often for updates, pictures, and prayer requests.
Love you all,
Wade and Natalie

Children's children are a crown to the aged. Pr. 17:6
Thank you for another crown.
Love, Mom (Honey)
Thank you for sharing this with us! We were just wondering aloud if little Grubbs had made his/her appearance yet, and we received the link to this blog. We pray you're doing well these last days before your lives will be forever blessed beyond measure. We can't wait to hear, and can't wait to see you again!
Love,
Christa and ALL the Boys
Wade and Natalie,
your name lends itself to so many quirky blog titles. Let's see, how about, "Grubbs Bloggs"? Of course if you choose to use that, the licensing fee will be minimal.
Take care and we pray all goes well.

Natalie and Wade,
Great blog, and so fun we can all stay connected this way! I can hardly wait for little Grubbs to arrive. I'm with Casey. People are calling daily saying, "Have you heard anything yet?" I assure them it won't be long now. :)
I'm so excited. I think of you guys constantly, and I pray for you to have a safe and smooth delivery. Give Nat's belly a kiss for me, Wade. Soon I'll get to hug you three in person.
xoxo, Mumsy

Natalie, I'll be praying for the safe arrival of your little gift from our Father. Babies were such a great idea!! Grandbabies are, too. I'm into that phase of my life right now. God is good -- all the time. "See you in September" (in case you don't know -- that's an OLD song from my time.) We'll be checking the blog to see when little grubbs arrives.

You guys are in my prayers and I can't wait for the pictures to show up!
Much love,
Ms. Anita
Congratulations!!!
The Lord is great and greatly to be praised.
Lawson Jacob Grubbs - the music in our hearts sings those names and we will carry them always and always with thanksgiving and joyfulness.
What a wonderful addition to this loving family who probably will spoil Lawson a lot; especially their Aunts, Abigail and Lindsay and Casey. Love to the three of you
from Greatmom and greatdad Fletcher
Congratulations!!! We love ya'll so much, and can't wait to see the little one...I can't believe he is already 9 hours old and we still haven't seen a picture(hint, hint). Come on Dad...what's the hold up. Trying to sleep or something? Don't worry, you'll get use to the whole "no sleep" thing.
NAT AND WADE!! I found your blog...Nat Dog you look so beautiful it makes me want to cry. I can't wait to meet that baby boy!! Love you ALL!
-Gin Cat
Hey There Wade & Natalie,
I tell you, your blog is GREAT because it truly displays how beautiful your "Better half" is Wade (ha, ha, ha). You are truly a beautiful pregnant Mommy, Natalie, outside, but mostly inward. Okay, okay, Wade, you're beautiful also (yes, I mean it).
It is so wonderful to see that God has given you two two special inward gifts: Baby Grubbs and Himself. The latter will give you the grace in times of GREAT need with the former. He's so loving!
Well, gotta go. Just want to let you know that Gary & I love you and will miss you, especially how you teach our children in Juniors on Sunday, Wade.
Love You A Whole Big Bunch,
GAry & Toya
Hey guys! Welcome to parenthood, Mike and I are so happy for you, and can't wait to see pictures! (like you haven't heard enough about that already...sorry-I'll let it go). We're praying for a speedy recovery for Momma Grubbs, and big fat healthy cheeks for Lawson!
Mike and Meagan Morse
Congrats on Lawson's arrival. Happy Fourth of July, Parents. What a wonderful addition to your family, jk
Congratulations!!!! I just read the other comments and am so incredibly happy for you guys and thrilled that Lawson made his appearance! :)
-Whitney Barnes
Indeed the Lord is good. God bless you three and may the Lord God continue to bless you with many more arrows to fill your quiver.
Congratulations to you Wade and Natalie and the awesome responsibility that has now been given to you to love and gaurd the soul God has blessed you with. You now have a very personal mission field that will bring scripture to life in ways you have only since read about. You know the Lord's love, mercy and grace. Now you will know it even deeper as you see your love for Lawson and how it mirrors the Father's love for you two.
Upon marriage, two become one and worship the Trinity in ways we could not do so as two. With this blessing comes even more ways Praise and Glory is to be offered up to such an awesome God as our true and living God creator Christ Jesus. Praise God forever more. Your cup is overflowing!
The Kayas
Congratulations to the both of you!! We are all looking foward to meeting little Lawson in September. Natalie, sleep when he sleeps...the dishes and laundry can wait. You guys are such a beautiful family!! The Lord is soooo good!!
Sarah Lam, for the Lam Fam

Lawson -I'm waiting to get your bike size!! I love your pictures with your beautiful Mom and Dad. Greatmom sent them to the place where I worked in downtown Marshall and everyone is admiring them all. And remember, you can't ride without a helmet.
And Greatmom says - It's great to have you here. You'll love the family when you get to know all of us. We all adore you and can't wait to spoil you. And we all think you are the most handsome baby boy we ever saw.
I am soooo excited for you and Wade. I nearly cried while reading what Wade wrote. Yall are so in love, and little Lawson is so very blessed. I can't wait to meet him in a few more weeks. This is making me want little Kate to be here already! COngratulations and I am so very happy for yall. It sounds as though everything was absolutely wonderful!!!! What a beautiful birth story!
