There is only three weeks left until Jude is expected to enter our little world. I am feeling so many things. I am nervous, feeling a bit overwhelmed and unprepared, and physically exhausted. Most of all, though, I am excited, overjoyed, bursting at the seams with the anticipation of my son's arrival. I can't wait to have a new little face to kiss all over, two more feet to tickle, and cheeks to pinch. I am excited for Mollie. She is so looking forward to meeting "my baby Jude Robert." I am anxious for the day when the four of us can all cuddle up together after a long day and love on one another, the way God intended it. These are going to be an intense 3 weeks. But the intensity will be worth it when I finally get to hold Jude, watch Seth bond with him, and experience Mollie's first reaction to her new baby brother.

Oh sweet baby, I pray that you will arrive on time and that you will be happy, healthy, and very, very welcome in our lives!

In love with you already,
Mommy
