Maternal Instinct Kickin' In.

This week has been filled with preparations for me going back to school. Lots of errands and appointments make for a tired girl. Don't get me wrong, I love school. I feel so blessed to be one of the few that enjoy what they study. I love anything related to dentistry and find it not only a science, but an art. I feel affirmed that I am right where God wants me.

With all that said, without school on my mind, I have really gotten a chance to think about how different our lives will be in a few short months. With each passing day, my excitement grows and my fears and anxieties about all the unknowns dissipate. It's finally starting to sink in that not just "a" baby, but MY baby will soon be with us. I spent much of the first trimester thinking and worrying about the circumstances, surroundings, and details of the baby, I completely looked over the little human that is taking form inside of me. I know I will still stress over all the 'things' that will come with the birth of this baby, but even if it's just a few minutes a day, I will rest and take time to think and pray over my child. My app on my phone tells me this is the week he or she can begin to hear. It's a strange and exciting thing knowing my baby will hear my prayers.

Blessed,
Sarah

  1. Sarah, it is so true. It's a HUMAN, that is still so weird to me. A piece of art that cannot be duplicated. It's simply amazing and it's simply God.

    And now I'm really crying. Thanks.
