As a little girl, I always knew I was supposed to be a mom. It was never a question. I remember looking through the JC Penney and Sears Christmas catalogs when I was as young as 6 and not only looking at the toy section, but the baby section. I would love seeing the new bedding and the new car seats and strollers.
After Christmas I would cut the things I liked from the baby catalog and paste on construction paper as sort of my "visualization" book. (I was very in tune as a child...LOL)
For the past several years, I have watched as each of my best friends brought their new babies into the world and have loved each and every one of them. I remember where I was when each one of my girlfriends announced the gender of each of their babies. I have been in interviews, getting out of the car, on a shuttle on a way to a wedding, anxiously sitting at my desk at home waiting for the phone to ring, you name it, I remember when each of my little loves was announced to me.
Now it is my turn.
Even writing that brings tears to my eyes.
I have, by far, THE best friends in the world. Not only is our family beside themselves with excitement and joy over this baby, but my friends are over the top excited. I often wondered if they would be as excited I was for their babies and the answer is a resounding yes.
Not only good things come to those who wait, but the BEST things come to those who wait.
Today we find out whether I have a son or a daughter. I honestly do not have a preference. I am looking forward to see what God has in store for our family. I do have a feeling about one gender but it is not a preference.
I am looking forward to hearing that we have a healthy child. Nothing else matters to us. My next post will be about today! I already feel so blessed.
