Anticipation

Yes... I know that I have already posted today... but can posting twice be a bad thing?

My day consisted of many a thing from the serious scrubbing down of my house to the watching of the show "Bringing Baby Home" on the TLC channel...

Every time that I watch that show, I turn into a major bucket of tears and pretty much have to take my makeup off and start over (or else I look as if I am wearing a Batman mask)... maybe I should invest in some reallly good waterproof mascara. :)
Today, the show featured a mama who did it "all natural"... which has been my plan from before I ever conceived this precious baby girl... but it totally freaked me out to watch her scream her head off because she was in so much pain!! I know that labor "for sure" is going to hurt like the dickens, but hopefully (Lord willing) I won't be screaming my head off at my hubby...

OH, but I am so looking forward to meeting my precious baby girl! They tell me September 4th is "The Day" and that is only 3 short (but also seemingly endless) days away. I cannot wait to hold her in my arms, kiss her little nose, and whisper "I love you's" in her little ears! :) Most of all, I look forward to seeing the look on my husband's face when he holds his/my... our.... baby in his strong arms!
I don't have a clue what it feels like when your child is actually here, but I am amazed at the vast love that I have for this little tiny person that I have never met/seen in my life. I can't imagine what it is going to be like when I get to put a face and a name to this person that I love so much! <3

Thanks for letting me jabber on... I just needed something to do before I head off to Wednesday night church.

Love yall!

OHHH BABY!

It's been like a year since I have decided to start writing in my blog again, but unfortunately life is a vapor and is very slippery-like... and it has slipped by too too fast.

Today is "The Last Day of August"... what a fast summer! I feel as if I have just gotten to put my shorts on yesterday, and now we are pulling out the jeans again. :/

Anyways, not only is today the last day of August, but it is also (supposedly) 3 days until I meet my little one! :) Pregnancy was definitely not the easiest thing I have ever gone through, but I will tell you that this "waiting-thing" is the HARDEST thing I have ever had to do. Everyday is a possibility, but when you get to the end of the day and there is no baby, then it feels much like a failure. The thing I have to tell myself most often is this: "God knows EVERYTHING and is in control of EVERYTHING.... so Emily, you need to just TRUST HIM!" So, that's what I am trying to do.... sitting here on my couch trusting that God will bring this baby to fruition someday. :)

Thanks for letting me rant and rave.... :) I needed to write my thoughts down... even if nobody in the world will ever read them! This is my first year without going back to school and I am missing scholarly work... so this is my scholarliness coming out. ;)

God Bless!
