2013. I have no idea.

Just a fun little picture of me and the sis last month!
Being ballerina's... as all girls should.

2013.

This is the year our daughter will be born.
This is the year that will make me a Mama.

Of all the millions of things that will happen during this year... all of the situations and circumstances that we will find ourselves in... She is honestly the only thing that I am sure of.
That should scare me, but it doesn't.
I am a planner, and nothing seems to go as planned anymore.
But it is starting not to matter anymore.
We will welcome her into our unknown life, and she will be enough for us.
May God be glorified and trusted more this year than any other year before.


[Oh and also, this year I will be able to sleep on my stomach again. My precious, beloved, tiny, not-baby-filled stomach.
Oh, hallelujah. REJOICE! I CANNOT WAIT.
That thought brings me more happiness than most other thoughts, lately.]

A new kind of Christmas

Christmas 2012 was so different. While it wasn't our first 'married Christmas' it was our first Christmas alone... Just me, my husband, a ginormous stomach full of baby, and our pup. As much as our hearts were homesick, they were so very full. Full, happy hearts. Thankful for each other and thankful for the birth of our King Jesus. I cannot wait until Christmas 2013, when there is a sweet little crawling girl to share this time with!

Of the 5 Christmases that I've spent loving this man, I think this one takes the cake.
