Today is my due date to deliver our first child. The day has finally come! The doctor says if Baby Tummins doesn't make his arrival on his own, I will be induced on Tuesday.
As I snuggled under the sheets last night and tried to get comfortable with my watermelon-sized belly, I whispered to Philip "these have been a great three years together". After a few seconds of silence, he put his arm around me and said "I'm not going anywhere".
Though I wasn't feeling insecure, no other words he could have said would have brought me more reassurance and joy. These truly have been the happiest years of my life (thus far) and I can only imagine how much more our lives will be enriched by the addition of our little miracle.
I am overwhelmed and cannot find words to describe the joy I feel. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for putting your arms around our family and saying "I'm not going anywhere, either".
I have my phone today. If you go into labor call me. You're going to be a mom in 0-4 days!
ReplyDeleteI am so very excited for you, april! Babies are such a sweet joy and it overwhelms me to this day each time I sit and realize how much my love for my boys just continues to multiply. I knew that I would love them, but it amazes me how much my love just continues to grow and grow and grow! Enjoy your last couple of days before your two becomes three.
