Almost Done!!!

Today marked the last baby shower I will be having... It seems like the pregnancy has gone by so fast up until these last couple of weeks where I feel like time just keeps dragging on and on and I just cannot wait to have this baby out of it's temporary home- otherwise known as my belly! I cannot wait to see what it looks likes, what it's little cry will sound like, and most of all to know what it feels like to hold that baby in my arms... I just cannot wait :)

Tomorrow I will be washing all of the baby clothes, blankets, and towels I have gotten at the showers that way they are ready to use and also have to have the baby's pediatrician sign off so they can come to the hospital once the baby is born. As I am pulling all of the onesies and everything out of the packages, it is a surreal feeling...thinking back to when I was a teenager and wondering if I would ever get married and have a family. All of these things God has granted to me, a loving and most passionatel husband (who by the way has been extremely understanding through all my moodiness in pregnancy), and now the beginnings of our own family.

Looking back on the pregnancy and in general God's path He's taken us on these last 9 months... it's been really exciting and very inspiring to see God providing for us in every way. When we found out I was pregnant, we knew that God had a plan and since that moment we have seen His blessings being laid before us. We are by no means financially rich, nor do we ever wish to be rolling in the dough...but God has made us rich in so many other ways that we don't ever need to worry about finances because God has been so faithful- we are Rich in Love, Rich in Friendship, Rich in Faith, Rich in Grace, and the list could go on and on! I am so excited to see the many Rich things God will put in our life in the future!!
