I was talking with a couple friends last night about this pregnancy and arrival of this precious baby boy. I have a few thoughts to share on this topic, so here goes.
1. The pregnancy itself has been tough. Lots of scary moments early on with bleeding and cramping, episodes since 20 weeks of contractions, and most recently a trip to the hospital at 30 weeks thinking I was in early labor.
2. The excitement of this coming baby has not been tough. I simply cannot wait and get very excited everytime I think about meeting this little boy.
3. My first time being pregnant, I was anticipating a baby. This time around, I am anticipating my son. I have realized after having Elli, that there is a person inside me, not just a baby. He has a personality, a mind, a body. He is letting me know things about himself already that I love figuring out as we spend more time together.
4. Along the thoughts of number 3, I have realized that our son will be active, he will love apples, he may not be a snuggle bunny as he kicks back when he feels squished. He will get the hiccups after he eats, he will come alive when we laugh, he will come alive at night:)
5. My son will change as he grows, but these things are true of him now, and I expect will be true when he arrives. I cannot wait to meet him and get to know him even more.
6. I have been incredibly blessed and the miracle of creation is happening currently inside of me. God is knitting his little body, developing his mind and spirit, and blessing me with all of it. What an icredible experience I am able to be part of. Again, I cannot wait to meet him.
(Now if God would just reveal to me what his name should be, we'd be all set!!)
