| baby things I feel like writing for writing's sake, although, I'm not quite sure why.
I'm so thankful that life is a journey and that I know a God who loves me - not in spite of my humanity, but because of it. Although I have so many hopes and dreams for my baby, I don't expect her to act like a five year old. I don't even want her to act like a five year old! My heart dances when she does something advanced for her age, but I don't look down on her because she does baby things. I delight in her because of her baby things. How hard I often am on myself for not always knowing the right thing to say, the answer in a certain situation, or for allowing my emotions to get the better of me. I believe the Lord definitely wants to take my higher and make me into all He dreams I'll be, but miraculously, he loves me through my failings, or rather, my "babyness." What an awesome God of grace and patience! | | |

| Thanks for all your sweet comments. I really comtemplated not telling anyone 'til we were further along, just in case something happened to the baby. Then I got to thinking, wouldn't be better to tell everyone so that everyone will be PRAYING?! We are only about five and a half weeks along, so your prayers are very much needed that the baby will grow healthily. :) I can't believe it. Next Christmas, we'll have a six month old baby trying to eat Christmas bows.
I cannot stop thanking the Lord for such a wonderful gift. Although we were very shocked and we're still terrified, we are SOOOO excited! We thought we had better timing, but what is better than God's perfect timing? I cannot imaging what Mary (the mother of Jesus) felt like when she learned she was expecting, because I am completely overwhelmed.
May His hand be upon this little one.
Much love. | | |
