Is it possible to have too much cuteness?
We live from one feeding to another--we wait for her sighs, relishing in her smiles as she dreams of heaven.
How could I be so deserving of something so precious. It cost me, and dearly, but I was a whimp, not realizing what I was paying for--and is she ever worth it all!
I will never grow familiar with this process of life. I will never take it for granted. Holding her fragile little frame in my hands, guarding her and fussing over and making sure she has enough milk, warmth, comfort.
I cannot believe it has already been a week--I have been trying hard to keep time at bay, but it encroaches, and life on planet earth keeps rotating as it rocks and reels with the winding down.
But here in our little cottage the earth is firm under God's friendly skies, and babies and laughing children reassure us of His love and care, no matter what the weather outside.
Are You Desperate for Simplicity?

I was wondering if my 'whimpiness' factor would ever dissipate when I'm expecting. I'm encouraged to know I'm not the only Mama that berates herself for being unable to keep focus on what I'm paying for.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I enjoy the 'End Times' that you eluded to with your poetic statement of the, "..life of planet earth keeps rotating as it rocks and reels with the winding down."
~Praise God for His firm foundations on which to build our lives.
Beautiful! I hope you have many more babies- surely that's possible, right? :) I love to hear you describe your life. Congratulations again, you are an amazing mama and God truly uses you to encourage and uplift other moms!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to see that no matter how many you have you still marvel at the miracle. I know I do with only my four. How does one ever tire of it?! ..and miss the miracle of it?! Everyone laughs at how spoiled rotten my eleven month old is. I guess there are just more people in the house to cater to her every whim. Recently, I told someone that she can't feed herself a simple Cheerio. That person was so very shocked, but why would the baby know to pick up her Cheerio if she is use to everyone doing it for her. ;) We all love every bit of loving and caring for her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post!!!!!! It is truly the greatest honor to have bestowed upon a family!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your family is truly on a high right now with the arrival of your new little one. I can barely wait until I get to feel the same way you are now, with my own children.
ReplyDeleteMy heart rejoices as you treasure this little blessing. May the Lord grant you healing in every way.
ReplyDeletePeace to you

Congratulations! She is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am expecting baby boy #3 any day now, and have been blessed by the way you have described your experience. We have had a very difficult year with my husband out of work, and the thought of another baby was very stressful. We try and rest in the knowledge that it is all in God's hands, and stories like yours encourage me on this journey.
Thank you for that :)
Beautiful post!
