Friday, January 29, 2011 Blessing #259
Visited the Dr. today--Henslee and I finally made up our visit from the snow storm. She is doing fine--and so am I. God willing, we'll just keep right on doing fine until she decides to make her entrance-probably about 6 weeks from now. I don't want to miss anymore work than necessary--especially since I'm already planning on taking a bit of time without pay after she arrives. Plus, I have important work to do with my students and I am running out of time!
We listened to her heartbeat--it is the most soothing sound in the world. I'm very pregnant-but other than ridiculously frequent trips to the potty and a hard time getting comfortable at night, I am as happy as a pig in slop. I just love to be pregnant. There is peace about me when I'm pregnant or nursing. I know that is it is OK-in fact necessary-for me to focus on home and family. Pregnacy just brings into focus priorities--reminds me of what is really important, and makes me feel like I am assisting in a miracle.
So, today-I acknowledge how blessed I am to be able to carry another child--and to enjoy a sense of peace and purpose that grounds me.

Oh Anna,
You are so right about being grounded with a pregnancy. There is no more important work than you are currently doing.
This little baby will enter our world as a great big PROMISE and POSSIBILITY as the song goes.
I can't wait.
Am so proud of you and your family.
Love you, Mom
