Nervous?

This is just a random braindump of everthing in my mind at this very moment.

I've been asked if I'm nervous....yes, I think I am! I think I'm so ready, but am I really? I know I'm ready to meet my daughter, but am also so afraid of the challenges it will bring. She seems secure where she is now, but she will be in this crazy world soon. When I think that the only thing that we know is that her heart sounds great and her size is good since the last sono. at 20 weeks, it is a little unnerving. I just pray that her delivery is good and she is healthy. Everything else will be fine...or so I keep telling myself. I have a wonderful husband and family who will be there for me, I know. I've always said that I would rather not have a child around Christmas due to them possibly missing out on birthday events/gifts. I've changed my mind. God willing, this will be a most joyous Christmas ever. I'll just have to let her know how special she is to be born so close to the day that Jesus was born. I'll just have to make sure she treasures the story of his birth as well as hers. It is going to be a wonderful day whenever it might be. Family is the most important thing and ours will be here to celebrate her birthday as well as the birth of Christ - what could be better?

May God bless each of your and your families this Christmas season. One of my favorite pieces of advice is that God would not allow you to go through anything that he won't be there beside you to help you get through. It can probably be said more eloquently, but this is the way it came out today. I thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers over the last 8 months.

Lena Kate, you are loved more than you'll ever know. I thank God for you everyday. I can't wait to hold you and kiss you.

On a side note: If you are looking for a good book, read "Same Kind of Different as Me" It is by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It is a very inspirational story of faith that everyone should know. I read some of this aloud to Lena Kate - sometimes through a stream of tears. Thanks Leslee for letting us borrow your book and the recommendation. I hope I didn't leave any tearstains on it.
