Water broke. Bags packed. Parents called. Friend en route. Baby on his/her way.
I’m beyond thrilled to report that we’ll be headed to the hospital in just a few minutes and that later today we’ll be welcoming the newest addition to our family!!
This is the shot I’ve been waiting to take!!
For other best shots, head on over to Tracey’s today!
I love the way you explore the world with endless wonder. Toddling uncertainly, I can see you becoming braver and more courageous as you discover your surroundings. I pray that I won’t lose sight of my patience when I wait, and watch, while you hover over a parade of ants marching down the rocky sidewalk.
My heart soars when, in the midst of cleaning, organizing, and preparing – you play and giggle and “help” in your own special way. And then you approach me. “Uh, uh” (up, up) you request, climbing over my sweaty legs with your own sticky skin. Unphased by my growing baby bump, you settle in, resting your head for a few blissful minutes.
This time – this precious fleeting moment – reminds me to stop and savor all that you are every minute of every day.
I wish I could say that my lack of a post yesterday was due to the fact that I was in labor (you’d think I was overdue by the sounds of it!). But alas, I’m still here, and still with child. It’s a good thing…don’t get me wrong. I want this little one to be perfectly ready to make his (or her) appearance. I guess having Calder arrive four weeks early spoiled me a bit!
We’ve been enjoying evening walks, trips to the (air conditioned) library, and just today we took a dip in the neighbor’s pool (after asking of course!). Here’s hoping to catch a few shots of the most recent phase of cuteness over the weekend. As for tonight, the boys are hanging out while I head to Mamma Mia with my aunt.
Tomorrow will most likely involve lots of rest and relaxation, which is a welcome change from the frenetic pace that we seem to have adopted the past couple of weeks. Here’s to a terrific August weekend!
