This Time Next Week

This time next week our sweet little one will be here.  It has flown by really and as we prepare I am overwhelmed with gratefulness, feelings of blessing, excitement and even feelings of "lasts".  I was thinking today that I probably won't be pushing just Lillie and Titus side by side in a cart again and our outings of 3 is coming to a close and that is strange.  I was looking at pictures of the kids and I have decided that I did not really cherish the age from 1 to 2.  Probably because they are hard, especially when they are 13 months apart.  I was hoping I was going to survive, that they were going to survive, that we would come out ok.  I want to do a better job cherishing moments with this one.  I started prepping the baby's 1st year calendar....and come October will have probably forgotten about it.  It is amazing going into #3 how much more you know than how much more you thought you knew with #1.  Whew...I pray I am more patient, more loving, more gentle, more present.  We are so thankful God has blessed us, we pray we are a delight to Him.
