The Last Few Weeks!!
37 weeks, 5 days yesterday!
WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEE OUR BEEBEE!!
And the wait might actually be harder this time around. Our rainbow baby is coming into a family who so dearly desires to cherish them with every ounce of love we have and the passing days only make us want to meet them more. I'm having dream after dream about the delivery - my mind is constantly aware and thinking about our Babe. Most of that is due to the fact that this kid NEVER STOPS MOVING. Ever. Like, never ever! And the other part is that I'm just really excited to give birth at home and to finally hold our Little Surprise in my hands for the very first time. Choosing not to find out the gender has been so hard, but after our ectopic experience with our second pregnancy and losing our baby, our only desire was to have a healthy baby. So finding out the gender didn't mean as much to us anymore. Plus, the suspense is INCREDIBLE. It's a kind you could never know unless you made this specific decision and we're so glad we have. The second we pull our baby out of the water and into our arms will be the best double surprise I can imagine experiencing. I just really am hoping it comes soon!!
We treasure this Little Life so much already. Our Babe is a blessing, and answered prayer, and a gift that the Lord has so kindly given to us. We're counting down the days! We love you forever, Baby 2.
