Just waiting...

We are in the final stretch of waiting for our little man to arrive! So many emotions right now... definitely anticipation and a little anxiety, SO excited, and a weird mix of wanting time to speed up and slow down at the same time. I find myself soaking up every extra second I have with Z. I can't even wait to see him as a dad, but a tiny part of me wonders if I will ever miss life as just the two of us. I know that adding our little man to our fam jam is going to be amazing and feel so right and perfect, but we've had a good 5 years of just being us! Yesterday, Z stayed home sick from work. He had a weird food allergy or food poisoning the night before and was up most of the night. So he slept most of the morning, and then we had the best afternoon together. (Thankfully, he woke up feeling so much better!) We got a few things done for little man's arrival... including Z putting together his crib!!! that finally came in yesterday (I know, I know.. a little last minute! But he'll be sleeping in our room for a while so I wasn't too worried about it, ha!) I'll post a few pictures of his room once we finish the last few details sooooon! It was such a refreshing day though to just relax, prepare, plan, and enjoy some unexpected time together. So now I feel like we're just waiting! I'm trying to still make plans and to do lists to keep me busy, but we are so ready to meet our baby boy! And honestly, I've gotten to that point where I'm pretty uncomfortable... I am NOT complaining though because I have had such an easy pregnancy so far! Just ready ;) I try to spend my days cleaning, stocking up on things (read: making daily trips to Target, hahaha), and making freezer meals! I've also enjoyed spending sweet time with friends over coffee, lunch, and brunch. Oh, and taking selfies to document the growing (SO big!!) bump!

I've also enjoyed being more intentional about my quiet time and actually journaling a bit again. Admittedly, I had started having my "quiet time" on the bus on the way to work by reading a few verses on my phone :/ which is less than ideal. So it has been really nice to dig into the Word and actually focus on what the Lord is teaching me. Here are a few verses that He has shown me and that  I'm leaning on when I feel extra anxious about all of the details...-Psalm 37:7- Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for Him to act.
-Phillipians 4:6- Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
-Matthew 6:34- Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
-Matthew 6:8- For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
-Lamentations 3:22&23- ...His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.
-Proverbes 3:5- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
-Hosea 6:3- So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
I'm so thankful for His promises and for this time He has given us to prepare for our little guy!
