does anyone remember that seinfeld about the pop-in? the person who arrives unannounced and unexpectedly? the more that i think about it, our child is about to be the ultimate pop-in. we do know he's coming (so i guess that's something), but as for when--or even where--we have no idea. will he come today? will he come a week after his due date? is this afternoon my last opportunity to clean what's accumulated under the sink? should i vaccuum--quickly--because he's coming tonight? is this my last chance to sit on the couch and stare into oblivion? eat hot dogs in large pieces? run out and buy outlet covers?
it's a little overwhelming really--but what i keep thinking about is what a good friend told me. she said all i really need to be prepared for our little man's arrival is brent's and my love for each other, our love for our baby, and our love for Jesus. everything else would come. ahh.....if i can just keep that in mind, life quickly simplfies. i pray that i can.

I love it! Embrace the last few moments to buy those outlets covers girl! Maybe he'll be like his mama and come out with a rat tail and fingernails sometime in mid-february:) Either way, I can't wait! You're gonna be such a great mama.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to hold out until the 11th of February. Sari, you and Brent will be wonderful parents. You both have wonderful parents to draw from and God will guide you. When he comes give him kisses from "Aunt Wendy". Love you!
