take note.
I cannot wait to experience the unconditional love for a child that only a parent can understand. I was thinking the other night about how I am such a sucker for Zeke and he is just our dog. But then I was thinking how much more am I going to love my own child that I have created and carried. It is going to blow my mind. I know he is going to have his mommy wrapped around his finger! I am so overwhelmed with the mere thought that we are in charge of raising this child to become a man of God, someone who knows how to love Him with his whole heart, to love and respect women the way that the Lord calls him to, to pursue and desire the Lord and to be someone who others love, respect and want to be around.
Where do you start?! What kind of a parent am I going to be? I have all of these preconceived notions of how I am going to be and how I am going to react in situations but until you are put in that situation you don't really know your reaction. Am I going to be a push over? Am I going to be too harsh? I desire for him to grow up and to know that we did the best we could do and that we ALWAYS had his best interest at heart.
I wonder what he looks like.. what characteristics will he have from each of us? Will his hair be thick or thin? Will he have my nose or Adam's.. my smile of his? I am anticipating the moment I get to hold him and we will be a family not a couple. What settles my mind when all this goes through it is knowing that I am doing this with Adam. He is going to be such an amazing dad. He is going to be wonderful in instilling the principles and life lessons in a way that will stick with our children and he makes me feel more confident that we are going to raise wonderful children (at least in our eyes!) I cannot wait to start this journey with him.
I know it will have its bumps (seeing we already disagree at times with how to discipline Zeke.. funny, I know) but the other mountains are going to be wonderful and the valleys will hopefully, Lord willing shallow enough we will get through them unharmed!
These are just a few thoughts of a soon to be mom.. ready for her boy to be born :)
