We are just days away from our "due date" for Baby Caden. This morning at the check-up appointment, we were informed to come back tomorrow morning for another check-up & to prepare ourselves as we may be sent over to the hospital to be induced for delivery.
"Prepare ourselves"...Wow! So surreal. Not that we haven't been preparing, but in so many ways it's felt like this was all indeed a dream...even with my ever growing abdomen.
So here we are...waiting...with much anticipation...feeling like a "ticking time bomb"...Is today the day? Maybe tomorrow? Or the next?
I'm so grateful for my now 14 year old niece, Christine, who has been with us the last week helping get the house ready and keeping me company. I may have just gone stir crazy during the day while Andrew was at work...with all the "anxious waiting."
So...be it tomorrow or the next day or next week... Here we are! About to embark on yet a new adventure...Parenthood.
Lord, give us grace & wisdom as we raise this child to honor you with ALL that he is. Patience & strength as we encounter life's daily challenges. Unconditional love & consistency to give in a world that is often counterfeit.
