Only 1 week now from my due date...and I am SOOOOO ready! I don't know what on earth made me think - or hope - that our Cupcake might be born early, but now I'm having to squash those hopes.
It doesn't help any that a cousin who was due just 1 week before me has had her baby girl 2 weeks early! And my sister-in-law who was due the day after me had her baby boy 2 weeks and 3 days early!! And a gal from church who was due a week before me has had her son a week early too. I'm beginning to feel like I'm the only one left!!
Yes, it's getting a little discouraging. But I take comfort knowing that she will come at just the right time, according to the Lord's plan for her life. He knows us before we are formed, and He has numbered the days of her life (and mine!). Pray that I will continually be reminded that His plan is BETTER than mine.
In the meantime, I am feeling rather well, thankfully. Mostly I just struggle with fatigue in the later part of the day. But I keep telling myself that it's nothing compared to the fatigue I will be feeling when I'm dealing with sleepless nights! :-)
On another note, we are praising God today for providing the vehicle we have sorely needed. We've been looking to get another car for several months so that I won't have to drive Stephen to the train station each morning and pick him up each evening (or be without a car when he needed to use it). And last night, after a rather unpleasant attempt at a purchase last weekend, the Lord provided to us a good car...just at the right time!
And thankfully, He provided it before Cupcake's birth...which is when the real need would begin.
Praise Him for His mercies to us!!
