Eden Hope

It's Thursday, my grocery shopping day...or at least it has been my grocery shopping day. We'll have to see how little Miss Eden behaves herself when she gets here. She is going to make her grand appearance Sunday!! The Dr. offered to induce me Sunday and I said okay! I am to call before I come in to make sure there is a room.

I cannot believe she will be here in three days! My emotions are all over the place. In one sense, I cannot wait to see her sweet face, pat her little behind, and tickle her toes. But then, I'm also savoring this pregnancy because I know it's my last. I love feeling her move in my stomach. I love guessing, was that an elbow or a knee? I love when the little stinker comes to life at 10pm. when I am ready to go to bed. I thank God so much for blessing us with one more. I thank Him for an amazing, uneventful pregnancy! "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good" Ps. 118:1....this is one of the girls' memory verses in Awana this week!

I am also praying for a good transition for our family with bringing home a newborn. Am I ready for the sleep deprivation? For 24 hour feedings? For changing poopie diapers at 2am.? So many people probably think I'm nutty for starting over just as I have gotten my girls off to school. Honestly, sometimes I feel a little nutty. But, the excitement on the girls faces and the love I already feel for Eden Hope makes it all worthwhile! "Children are a blessing from the Lord".

So, Eden Hope, we are ready to meet you. Your sisters cannot hardly wait. Emma has already marked it on the calender, as Oct. 3rd. Eden's Birthday! Mommy and Daddy are very excited to hold you and kiss you. I will try my best to keep you protected and hopefully you won't have too many pinched fingers, as we have two very BIG helpers that are already planning on taking care of you so well. Sunday is your day, baby girl! Be obedient, and come meet your family!!!
