Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior and spending time with family. I may have already said this, but being pregnant has really caused me to do a lot of reflecting on when Mary was pregnant with Jesus. How much pure faith Mary must have had. Its enough to be responsible for the life of a tiny, helpless baby, but to be responsible for nurturing God's son? To know that in your tummy was something so pure and holy. I just cannot imagine the faith and strength she must have had knowing she was the mother of God's one and only son. Whatever is in your heart this Christmas season, I hope it sticks through out the coming New Year.
And on this Christmas Eve, I am officially 17 weeks pregnant. And while I have been feeling slight, faint movements, I felt the official "flutter" yesterday. I was sitting in the car, waiting for Nathan, and listening to classical music, when the movement were strong enough to actually get my attention! It was very exciting. And as I thought about it, I began to think, "Oh I wonder how Baby will respond to this situation or that event..." It completely overwhelmed me in the most wonderful way and brought me to tears. I love being pregnant (in case you didn't know!!) and I am truly cherishing each and every minute and milestone.
And Congratulations to Catherine and Dave on their arrival of their baby girl on this beautiful Christmas Eve Day. She was due five days after Christmas, which made for a wonderful, surprise Christmas gift.
