Anticipation

My baby girl is due in 2 weeks, 4 days.  As I wait (as patiently as humanly possible) for her to make her debut, I also have alot going on that keeps my mind busy....like a 20-month-old son that never stops.  His new favorite game is "hock sticks" - aka hockey.  Daddy bought him his very own hockey stick and started teaching him recently.  So fun!  He's also obsessed with "mommy" right now.  I'm soaking in every moment I have with him before my attention has to be divided.

In great anticipation of welcoming this new bundle of joy into our lives, I've been doing some creative writing as well.

BIG BROTHER

How did I get so lucky?  How am I so blessed?
Sleeping like an angel, but soon to wake & make a mess,
This little boy in front of me has stolen my whole heart.
As he becomes Big Brother soon, I know he's perfect for the part.
Humorous and inquisitive, he amazes me every day,
I cannot wait to watch him shower love on Reese Elaine.

 

LITTLE GIRL

Little girl inside of me,

You bring me so much joy.

I want to meet you, hold and kiss you,

Prayers for your health I greatly employ.

You enjoy dancing in my tummy

Day and night and night and day!

I anticipate the talents God will bless you with;

He will soon show you the way.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” He promises,

And I can clearly see

That this hope for a bright future

Is in store for you and me.

May you grow to know His unending love,

And never do forget

That this same love of the Savior

Is the kind I’ve had for you before we met.
