Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.Psalms 127:3-5 ESV

Thoughts about 39 weeks

Every morning feels like Christmas when I wake up.  I feel excited like something might happen, but then look at the clock only to find it is 4 or 5 AM and I am wide awake. I am usually an early morning person, so I don't mind the wake up calls.  I am making the best of it and savoring quiet mornings while I can, knowing that I can nap later in the day.  Yesterday the midwife said everything is still going smoothly and suggested a book to read before the big day, to ease my fear of the unknown.
