I found this picture today while browsing through iPhoto of our first Thanksgiving together - ten years ago! Wowzers!:) It's hard to believe that was ten years ago already. I never like answering those questions on surveys about what do you see yourself doing in 3 yrs, 5 yrs, 10 yrs, etc. I wonder if that Thanksgiving we would have answered, "Hmm, in 10 years I think we will be on the verge of being new parents." Doubt it!:) Somehow, we still don't feel mature enough to raise up a little one. Thoughts we've been having...
Wonder
Excitement
Discouragement
Overwhelmed
Joy
Trepidation
Denial:)
Patience
Impatience
Curiosity
Worry (mostly me - trying to pray through that one!)
Peace
Sigh...I think I'll blame it on hormones for both of us:). 13 days til D-Day! May we rely on God's strength and not our own!
comment on this blog entry: congrats on the impending d-day!
ReplyDeleteand in response to your recent comment on my blog: if only it were as simple as choosing a great spot for breakfast...and if it were that simple I would not choose Waffle House (though I do enjoy this restaurant) as I have written off chain restaurants and will only resort to them if that is all Heidi wants to eat. I have embraced the locally owned goodness of places like El Chisme, Real Food Cafe, and Marie Catrib's. I have even started a blog where I will be reviewing local restaurants to Grand Rapids...I'm hoping it picks up some steam. Check it out at eatgrandrapids.wordpress.com
I've got youth group now...peace.
just think, so close to those sleepless nights...When I am up tonight with (probably) both the boys I will be thinking of you two. Actually it will probably be Nikki up with both the boys, so I will be sleeping...So I probably won't be thinking of you two...But you get the idea. God's blessings. We are eagerly anticipating the good news!

Jeff and I had so many of those same thoughts. When the time comes the love you experience for your child seems to overshadow everything else . The worry seems to stick in there some days,but I don't think that will ever leave completely it is part of parenthood. I have to remind myself Daily that God is bigger. Bless you both on the last few days of your Journey. I am thrilled for you both.
