Oh my......just under two weeks to go.
The nesting has begun. The freak outs are coming. In no time we will be a family of six.....wow.
I am trying to get some small things done around the house. I find it amazing how God shoots you with a burst of energy in the final moment before you bring a new life home. Just little odds and ends to take care of.
I have also found it funny how I worry at times about the kids sharing rooms. Yet, due to a mother in law who is kind enough to come and clean and organize our house, the kids all slept in Xanders room because of the smell of the cleaner. They only needed to sleep there Friday night. Three days later......they are still sleeping in there. I think it is great that the kids seem to love to be together that way. I hope it is something they never really outgrow. That closeness.
Our family will have an exciting few months coming up. Not only bebe number 4, many holidays, birthdays......but some special things for my oldest kids. We have truly been blessed with a family that loves and cares for our kids in a way that is indescribable. And it is not so much that it takes a village, but it is heartwarming to know that they have that village there for them. What a great deal of peace it gives me as their mom to know that they are surrounded by people who go above and beyond....because they want to. My kids will be afforded experiences and opportunities as a result of such loving aunts, uncles, tias, and Nanas. Amazing....
As we wind down to the end of this pregnancy journey, I am often reminded to savor the little things. Be thankful for all things. And of how blessed we are.
