Thirty-Five Weeks

We're getting so close.  These pictures of my first baby and my growing belly represent so much to me.  While we are about to embark on a new chapter that is sure to be an amazing one, I get a lump in my throat when I think about closing this current one, too.  These last three years have been the best of my life, raising this boy and getting to love him every day.  I've never been good at change, I think because there is always a sense of fear associated with it.  At the same time, though, I'm ready and so anxious to meet this baby girl.  There is much joy awaiting us in January and I look ahead with anticipation, awareness, and acknowledgement of the One who is writing our next chapter.      

Pictures courtesy of my husband.  A camera in one hand, a shovel in the other this Sunday afternoon.  He's a man of many talents, that one.
