pregnancy reflections

So, this is what happens at 12:15am when one is 34 weeks pregnant: no sleep. :)

However, pregnancy is an amazing feat to me. The creation of a complete an entire separate human being who will resemble her father and me in a beautiful and unique way; both physically and mentally in all our good ways and bad ways. God already knows who she will become, what amazing feats she will accomplish, and all the other little details of living a life that is glorifying and pleasing to Him.

Wow!

This midnight reflection puts it all into perspective for me. :) The achy back, the sore hips, the swollen hands and feet, the carpal tunnel (yes, that is what I have now), the insomnia, the heartburn, the frequent bathroom trips...they all pale in comparison to the life somersaulting and moving within me. I love you little one, but believe it or not, God loves you even more!

My little one's lullaby:

All through the day
all through the night
dwell in His promises
walk in His light.
Darkness shall flee
at His command;
All through the day and night,
we're in His hand.
