I woke up early this morning because I am really starting to be uncomfortable at night now. I guess with only 5 1/2 weeks ago, I may also be a little restless from thinking about how things are about to change again.
I know those sleepless nights are just around the corner, but in some ways I am looking forward to rocking this little baby in the wee hours when everyone else is fast asleep. Those late night feedings have never really bothered me. I guess they haven't because I have always used that time to pray for my family. It's amazing how much and how long I can pray for in the middle of the night:-)
I know there will be tough days and nights ahead, but I am praying that the Lord will give me a positive attitude through it all. I really want to enjoy our children while they are young. I want to have fond memories for the future.
I am so excited to see the boys' reaction when we bring this baby home. Jack is so excited. Every day he talks about the new baby and kisses my growing belly. He tells us that he is going to be so sweet to the new baby. He says he can't wait to share his toys and snacks with the baby:-) It will be fun!
The above picture is of Luke when he was about 1 1/2 months old. Luke has always been our snuggler!

You're such a sweet mommy. Your post made me cry. I guess I am a little hormonal but that is a great way to look at sleepless nights:) I pray I can look at them the same way in February.
Love,

That's agood idea- I've been using those times to drool and curse Jeremy in my head.
I can't wait to meet shim!
I don't mind the late-night feedings either. It's so sweet to be up with a tiny baby when everything else is still (I don't think I truly appreciated that until I had my second baby and things were not often "still" during the day). Someone I admire once told me that the Lord would bless me with children equal to my mothering ability. I can say that it's true. My two little ones are the perfect ones for me and I'm sure your new baby will be the perfect addition to your family. I'll be thinking of you and add you to my prayers for a safe delivery!
