Tick-tock...

...the countdown continues....11 days? Are we actually almost to single digits? Is that possible? The eternal pregnancy is actually going to come to an end? As excited as I am for that to happen, I can't decide if my anticipation actually outweighs the anxiety of taking the child vs. adult ratio beyond our comfortable 1:1 limit. So much to think about....so much nesting left to...nest? So much chocolate left to devour before I have to go back to worrying about a waistline. So much snuggling left to do with my sweet two before their little worlds completely change and they become three. 10 more nights to attempt a good night's sleep before cries in the darkness begin. So many prayers to continue that this little boy finds his way here as perfectly and miraculously as the first two from our Father in Heaven's arms...and that we can truly be worthy and prepared to welcome his tender spirit...tick-tock. 11 days really is no time at all...

I have to thank, once again, my sweet sister Kim for shooting a few pictures of "the belly" (much larger than even can be comprehended in these pictures) and my cute kids. Syd and Kade have daily rituals of hugging and kissing the belly. Kade insists that he, also, has a baby brother in his tummy. He has made it amazingly clear through his comments and attitude that he already knows this little boy...and has been patiently waiting for him to come join him. Sydnie just loves to feel him move. She likes to guess which part of his anatomy is poking at her and she giggles when he responds to her voice. Oh, it is all miraculous....and oh, so ready to be done! Tick-tock...

Baby boy, we are so excited for you to get here! May 20th will be here before we know it! Tick-Tock!
