Anxiously awaiting Jonah

Well the countdown continues... We now have 14 days until DDay and it feels like its taking forever :-) last week I had a lot of contractions, intense pain in my pelvic region, and a lot o other signs pointing to labor very imminent... HOWEVER that was 5 days ago.

Well Shelly rushed here from Medford, mom came to help with Luke and now we are waiting...

Last night before I went to sleep I had a huge smile on my face though. I am sitting here whining and complaining (even tho this pregnancy hasn't been THAT bad) and I realized I'm not enjoying these last few weeks of JUST loving on Luke. So The Lord has a funny way of reminding us to treasure the moments we are in...

Luke had been waking up earlier than normal screaming for mommy saying he was scared of the 'fiders' aka 'spiders' and all he wanted was mommy mommy mommy.... Once he cuddled in my arms it was passed.... He wasn't scare and was quickly back to sleep.... The power of 'mommy'

Then last night we are all sitting around chatting and laughing and Luke comes up to me, hugs me around my neck and smiles. He turns his little head to the side and says 'my mommy is the BEST ever!!' Omg made me tear up!!!! He's just learning how to put his full sentences together to come up with new topics to talk about - and BOOM - This is what he says!!!!!! I sat back and just realized... How unbelievably BLESSED am I!!?? My Luke will always be my first born - my big boy!

I pray for my baby Jonah this morning as I wake up with Luke next to me (he came into our bed at 7am for cuddles and fell back asleep)..... I pray that Jonah knows how to love as Christ loved us... I pray that Jonah knows how much his mommy loves him and would do anything to make sure he is safe and happy. And I pray that little Jonah grows up to be a responsible, loving, supportive, providing father and husband - JUST like his daddy is....

Like I said - I am blessed! And for now - even though I'm uncomfortable - I am treasuring the current moment!!! Treasuring my big belly - treasuring my Luke who loves to kiss his 'bubba' in my belly (and understands that one day mommy might not be here in the morning because she is at the hospital getting bubba taken out of her belly ;-)

We were given TODAY as the present! Treasure every moment!!! Xoxoxoxo
