Oh BOY!

Less that two weeks away...can you feel it? Well, probably not, but I can. From the aching nether regions to low back pain, from abdominal cramping to sleepless nights, and from having no clothes that fit to prepping every inch of my house, I can feel it! My time as a pregnant lady is almost up! I can't wait. True, when babies are in the womb they are fed, rocked to sleep, asleep period, and cause little to no problems. But, I am SO looking forward to having little Dominic present and physically in my arms. He's a mover and a shaker, but I have a feeling he'll be a pleasant little guy, observing the shenanigans of his big brother rather than acting out himself. No, I don't want a docile or timid child, but I just have a feeling he'll be entertained slightly, rather than needing to be the entertainer. I had a rather restless night a few nights back, and ended up on the couch in a funky position trying to relieve back, side, and stomach pain. I was feeling a bit abandoned by Heavenly Father (haven't we all been there during pregnancy?) and I vocally asked, "Why, why, why? Please let me sleep. Why is this happening right now?" (referring to the early labor stage - three.weeks.early.) And, as clear as a bell I heard, "He will bring you joy and pleasure." And I seriously closed my eyes and fell asleep. I love being a mom. I love the guidance of the holy spirit, and of receiving a sweet mercy from Heavenly Father of being able to fall asleep. Now, the pains haven't gone away, but that one sweet mercy confirmed that it's all good. Joy and pleasure! Children, with all of their quirks, do bring those into this world!

Yes they do bring you joy. The moment the baby is born and you see their sweet face, the aches and pains of pregnancy are replaced by feelings of love and gratitude. Being a mother is the hardest most challenging job in the world. It prepares us for something even greater and that I look forward to. Love you Lacey and admire you for your strength. See you soon.

You're in the home stretch! The last 2 weeks are rough, but you are right and once that cute baby is in your arms it will be all worth it! Can't wait to see pictures of the cute baby boy. Good luck with everything!!!!

I love that. Thank you. It is true. I remember one of my most humble prayers offered at the end with Zac. I am glad that you received an answer to your prayer to help get you through this last bit of time that is so uncomfortable for you. Love you!
