40 + 1

I wondered what would happen to my little pregnancy ticker if I went past my due date. It just says "you are 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant" which is exactly right. I was hoping it wouldn't say..."your baby is one day old" :) We are just hanging out and waiting for this little guy to make his debut. well, i should rephrase...Jacob and I are hanging out (been on maternity leave for a week now and it is FABULOUS) i am so thankful i took this time to myself. Matthew is working away and waiting for my call to come home and go to the hospital! I have to say for being full-term, I feel great! I really do. I have so enjoyed this pregnancy and I am thankful!

Now, we are just ready for him to get here. In the same breath, we can't quite fully comprehend what we are about to experience. we will become parents, bringing a baby into this world and home in a matter of days.

Not just any ol' baby, but OUR baby. A new friend from our small group at church just put it in a way that I will never forget and is so true. In regards to what people say about "I hope my baby is good, or I hope my baby sleeps, etc" (sentiments I have certainly thought and expressed!) she said to remember that this baby was perfectly and uniquely designed by God for our family. It is not by accident or chance that this baby is joining our life. He is exactly WHO we are meant to have to make us a family of three. I just love that! And we are THRILLED to meet our little blessing and welcome him into our lives.
