Tis the Season and Fa La La La La

Prayers are needed for tomorrow's doctors appointment! Tomorrow we get an ultrasound to find out how our baby is positioned, last week we couldn't figure out where her head was, I know it's routine, but I'm still a little nervous (maybe more anxious). This last month has been hard, especially now when you don't know when the baby will come. I guess it's a reminder that I don't need to be in control, and I actually can't be in this case.

It feels so busy and I love Christmas time, I just want to take time to slow down and remember why we celebrate this holiday - sometimes it's easy to rush through it without really appreciating what it's about. I hate those years, I've had a few and it's like Christmas just comes and goes and no big deal. I love to make it a big deal, and yes I get into the decorations, and Christmas specials on T.V. and the movies, but I love to take time, especially on Christmas Eve, and just thank God for sending his Son for all of us. This year I think it will hit me harder, seeing as I will be a mom before or sometime close to Christmas... just that I will really feel how it is to love my own child and realize that God loved Jesus this much, but sacrificed Him for all of us that are so unworthy. I guess I just write today to remind myself to slow down and appreciate what we are really celebrating!!
