36 Weeks

I'm four weeks away from that due date!  That's crazy!  I'm feeling good and starting to get anxious to meet this new little one!  I'm certainly hoping for a 2015 baby-- I'd like to make it thru the holidays before he comes and I would like him to make it close to his due date.  But it's in God's hands.  I like to think about that and remember that He is writing this story.  

A few weeks ago I felt overwhelmed with the upcoming birth and being a mom of 2.  It's a lot to think about- Colin is beyond busy and although he is SUCH a good kid he is busy and demanding of my time and attention.  The idea of another baby needing my every ounce of energy was daunting.  I called my grandma to talk one day and just as my grandma always does- at the wise age of almost 90- she reminded me that God never gives us more than we can handle.  This was His plan, His timing, and His gift to our family.  And I honestly felt an instant sense of relief.  It's true- I can do this.  God planned for me to be the mom to Colin and his brother (name reveal to come soon!).  And God will handle our every day.

Also- it was requested that I do a side by side comparison of my pregnancy with Colin and this time around.  Yes I'm carrying SO much lower and it certainly looks like I've smuggled a basketball under my shirt.  With Colin, I carried higher and it didn't look like the baby might fall out. Ha!
