I am so emotional! This part of pregnancy is such a different experience. I cry so easily. A friend passed on a new album for me to take a listen to. There was a song that made me cry as he sang about time because this morning I read that I have 47 days or 6 weeks left of this sweet pregnancy time. It's hard to believe that we're coming to end of the beginning of this journey. We had dinner with a couple from church last night and were telling our story of the miracle of this child on the way. To stop and remember our travelings and our faith walk thus far has really moved me. To remember the times of prayer, pleeding, believing and walking with God as we sought to start a family moves me still. "Time" has been a common thought for me for this whole road I've walked. And "time" is also the center of my prayers for our coming son. My verse for him is Deuteronomy 7:9...
"Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is GOD, the faithful God, who keeps his covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commands."
And "time" is where God specializes.
A song of my heart sings...
You're there in the struggle
You're there in the fight
You'll be there all the time!
We praise You...
The God of our yesterdays
We praise You...
The God who is here today
We praise You...
Our God, as tomorrow comes.
We thank You...
For grace in our yesterdays
We thank You...
For peace in our hearts today
We thank You...
Our Joy, as tomorrow comes.
We will trust you God!
You're always closer than we know!
The God Who Was, Who Is, and Is to Come!

WHHHHAAATTT!! Ok, woman, where have I been??? I did not know you were expecting - and a BOY??? You know I am a sucker for baby boys. I might just have to cry right along with you. I knew I was pregnant with Andrew when I laid in bed and sobbed while watching SURVIVOR!! ahh, the hormones. You will feel sane again one day.
I am praying for you now, sweet girl, for the times of joy and wonder that lay before you. Soak up each little moment because they really do grow so fast and you blink and the moment is over.
Call me if you are exhausted and need a late-night feeding help so you can sleep.
Oh, an excedrin and diet coke will get you through the day if you have been up all night. :)
I am thrilled for you both. Know that I am here for you - am only a phone call away.
much love!

Ahh I remember that! Crying over commercials and one tree hill did me in! It's so quick and he'll be here before you know it. Take in every last moment of pregnancy while you can. I really wish I was there. I talked to Milo and we might try and take a family trip down in April or May to see the baby. I'm praying for you and Artie and really missing you at the beth moore bible study!!
