Getting Ready for Baby

These days I feel a mixture of readiness for this little one, mingled with some slight panic because there is still so much more to do before we’re really ready for her. It’s amazing that a such a tiny person creates so much change. My tummy at least feels ready to have her on the outside. The rest of me wonders what it’s going to be like once she’s here and how I’m going to handle suddenly becoming a mama. It seems so wonderful, yet incredibly humbling. There is so much to parenthood that is not glamourous. Sure, I know there are great joys that accompany the toil, but I know it will be tiresome nonetheless. In reality, we have no idea what we’re getting into. Our daughter is completely unique. We’ll have to learn how to meet her needs together. We’ll have to trust that God will teach us along the way, because only He will give us strength for the task ahead. One thing is for sure: we are getting so close! I’m looking forward to the final preparations for the arrival of this precious gift.

Here’s a nursery sneak peek! Yes, I’m using seafoam in a girl’s room! We love it.

We can’t wait to meet you little one! As Jonathan says, “Be nice to your mommy until you get here!”
