9th month thoughts

"WE" are into that last month of pregnancy and it is getting tougher for all of us. Everytime Jill has some strange twinge I get a bit anxious and wonder if this is it. Then things settle down again for a while and next thing you know she's got another strange twinge. I wish I had an explanation for it all. I wish I could bear some of her discomfort for her. All she has to do is look at those other 2 boys and know that it's all worth it. She can call on the name of Jesus to walk her through it. How awesome is that? Every ache and pain to glorify God. The beautiful baby of God's own creation. What a glorious position to be in right here right now. Waiting and praying. And contracting! (sometimes my tummy hurts, too!) We're all in it!!! For such a time as this, I thank you and praise you, Father God, in the name of Jesus.

oh mom. You make me cry. I've avoided about blogging about how miserable I am, as you can tell by all of the other random posts that I HAVE been posting. thanks for the lovely encouraging words. Just what I needed to hear.

We love you, Jill, and baby too. You'll soon forget the yuckiness.

One of the most amazing things to me is how this baby has it's own place in your family already, one of the really neat things God does with children.


Soon you will be holding this precious life and be able to 'see the fingerprints of God'
