35 Weeks!

Today I am 35 weeks pregnant, and the reality that our son will be here in FOUR weeks (possibly less) is starting to overwhelm me. I feel unprepared for his arrival. Unprepared physically, emotionally and spiritually. However I know that God has a prefect plan for Whitten and for our family, and Shaun and I cannot wait to see how our Heavenly Father uses Whitten's sweet little life to glorify Him.

Lillian is getting more impatient with every passing day. She is over talking about her baby brother and simply wants to see him and give him kisses. The other night while we were sitting on the couch talking with her about Whitten, she wrapped her arms around my belly and started pulling saying, "get my baby brother out". It was so funny...and I assured her that her baby brother would be here before she knew it. I am just hoping that when Whitten is finally here that Lillian allows me to actually be his Mommy. She already has told me that she would change him, feed him, bath him, and give him big hugs and kisses. I wonder if she will get up with him five times a night as well?

Let me just take a second to mention how wonderful my husband has been throughout these last couple of months pregnancy. I pretty much have one of two reactions towards any situation these days- I either start crying or yelling. Between being super-upper fat, overly hormonal and tired I know that I have been more than a handfull for my sweet and understanding hubby. I swear that I was not this way when I was pregnant with Lillian, and I am blaming it on the fact that I am carrying a boy. Either way I do not know how Shaun has done it this summer. Not only did he take on two mini semesters(making one "A" and a "B"), he was also working 60 hours a week, taking care of me, and always made time for Lillian. I do not know how he does it all, but I am extremely grateful for him. Shaun is a wonderful provider, father, husband and my very best friend. And I cannot wait to welcome our son into the world with him!
