I woke up this morning and this was my view. I know who my Creator is. It was a great reminder of who created this blessing in my belly. My daughter.
I am 36 weeks big today and remembering how I always for get this last month. How uncomfortable you get and and how you are just ready to meet this life that has been growing inside for so many months. I am now 67.5 kilos, and Anna is 6lbs. 6oz. -ish. She is still measuring 5 days ahead of schedule. I am already 2-3 cm dilated and 50-60% effaced. The Doctor is curious to whether she will be here before Christmas. I am fully on board with this idea if God gives her to us sooner. I finished lots of regular lab tests, and my non stress test shows now real contractions but we packed our bags and staying close to the hospital regardless.
I can only do a half day out before I am totally exhausted, and lately the boys have seemed as though they don't hear a thing I say. Their obedience goes out the window when it is hard for me to follow through with giving consequences..............all that to say, I am frequently overwhelmed and thinking how will I manage and infant too.
But then there are days like this, moments like this, when they are so sweet and loving that Daddy is spending time telling them stories of Jesus. I know our Father gives us blessings and these are mine.
