As I lay here in bed, hoping not to wake Joseph since he has a long drive to Atlanta in a few short hours, I can't help but let my mind wonder. I guess that's all I really can do at this time of the morning.
Mostly, it wonders to us being full fledge parents in just a handful of weeks that are sure to fly by. I'm thinking of nursing my precious baby girl all through the day and night and what a wonderful bond that will create. Pleasant thoughts of learning new things about her each day ignites my soul and causes me to be more anxious than ever before. Dressing her in ruffles and bows is nothing I've ever dreamed of, but it's now something my heart desires. Sharing my wonderful church family with her from the very start with hopes she'll be strongly tied to our faith is at the top of my many to-do lists.
Thoughts of family time flood my mind. Oh what a joy this little soul has already brought to our world! I can only imagine it will get better and better as times goes on. It's ironic what such a small being can change in one's life. Because of her, I now know exactly what I expect of myself and my family: nothing short of the best! Each day I will anticipate growing and learning from the days before.
I'm truly thankful Joseph and I are able to experience the journey of parenthood side by side. I could not imagine experiencing such a beautiful and challenging chapter of my life with anyone else. God has had this planned out especially for the two of us. I'm thankful he led me to such a fine, quality man to share all of the good and bad this life has laid aside for me, for I know Joseph is largely responsible for the person I am today.
