I have exactly 3 weeks and 6 days until our fourth little human is due to make his appearance. I was reflecting the last day or two about how much anticipation I always feel in the final weeks of pregnancy. When I ponder it, it feels quite huge. On some pre-set date, that only God knows about, our child will arrive into this world, and I have no idea what day that's going to be. It's exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time. I think to myself, "It could be next week or in three weeks or five" I'm not sure if I like the anticipation of it or not. The planner side of me certainly does not like it. But it's a lesson in trusting God. It will be soon though. I will meet my fourth sweet little baby face to face. It's been a long long roller coaster ride of a pregnancy. But God has brought me a long way. I'm excited. Stay tuned!
Ah, it's such an intense time, isn't it? I remember that every activity I would do, even something as simple as putting my youngest child to bed, I would wonder if it was the last time that I would do that as a mom to (whichever number I happened to be on) or if it would be the last time I would put my current youngest child to bed as my true baby. Blessings and serenity to you during these weeks.
