I do although find myself thinking a lot lately about what is ahead. I know all you ladies out there know what I mean when I say-I'm. Scared. Please don't get me wrong. I can't wait to meet little Ellie and hold her in my arms. But I know there is so much more to having a baby than that!
-What will it be like to "birth" a baby? YIKES.
-Will I have the emotional stamina for the sleepless (I LOVE my sleep) nights...and there will be plenty of them...
-Will Scott and I's relationship ever be the same? (it's really good right now. just the two of us.)
-What about Izzy? (I know it's silly, but she is my baby and gets a GOOD amount of my attention)
-Will I be a good GODLY mother?
But one thing I'm sure of, I know I have the Lord by my side no matter what changes occur.

Ohhh girl, the best is yet to be!! Just wait. So excited for you and Scott! My SIL just visited and I just realized you a due a day apart, same as Kari and I were, wierd. (PS..you look really cute, will be praying for you)
Yay! An update! I'm glad your pregnancy has gone so well and that it has even gone FAST!! I'll be praying for you as you embark on motherhood. I think the most important thing is that you DESIRE to be a godly mother. You have quite the legacy and I'm sure you and Scott will be great parents.

you look so cute! You're gonna be such a great mom..it's the best thing in the world. And your relationship with Scott will just deepen with the role of raising a little one together. Looking forward to hearing the news!
You're BEAUTIFUL!! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever so I miss ya!! I can't wait to hug and kiss little Ellie. She's going to be perfect. I pray everyday for your perfect delivery too! WOW-- it's gone by so fast!
Michelle, I am thinking that you and Scott will be great parents. Life does change when a child comes into a family, but the inconveniences are definitely worth it - another human being to love and point to God the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ. To watch them grow and learn Bible verses and see God from a child's eyes. These are wonderful treasures and there are many others as well. Enjoy every minute! Love you, Laura R.
Michelle, I know just what you mean! I feel that way every time - excited but NERVOUS too...can we really handle this and do it well???? Not a chance, but God daily provides the strength and grace as we need it. You guys are going to do great! Can't wait to see pics when she arrives. :) Love ya!
WOW!!!! Sleeping through the night w/out potty breaks? Definately jealous. I never had potty breaks during the night until I got pregnant. Now I'm getting up every night at least 3 times a night :-(
When William was born, Jonathan took the blanket that he was wrapped in home that night to their dog Tipsy so that Tipsy could get used to William's smell. You might want to try that for Izzy to help her adjust.
So glad to hear that you've had a smooth pregnancy and I hope the last few weeks go just as smoothly
i was scared to death when I was pregnant with Aidan, but it is true that children are a blessing from the Lord. You will do great. Being a mom is so much fun, especially when you have a great husband by your side!
