Chasing Babies... Growing in Grace: Some Recent Thoughts

Friday, July 16, 2010

Tornado is into bugs these days... which is way better than being terrified of them!

In recent days a few things have occurred to me... so I thought I would share some of my random, yet somewhat related, thoughts from this past week.

I'm about to have a baby... really, it's true. So far I've just been pregnant, but every once and a while it occurs to me that, sooner than later, I will have a newborn to care for.
I'm about to have three children.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
It sounds hard.
I'm not patient enough with the two I already have.
When the new baby is the age Sweet Pea is now, I'll have a 6 1/2 year old!
Maybe I can do this after all.
I'm about to have even less time than I think I have now.

Anyone else have these sorts of realizations with 2 1/2 weeks to go???

BUT I do know what you are talking about. My first two kids were only 3 1/2 and 2 and the thought of another was overwhelming, but it was easier than expected. Nothing is as difficult as the first! Of course, the Lord is your strength!
