expecting...


Okay, before I get my mom all excited let me just say that I am not pregnant. She is just as excited about grand-baby number 13 and 14 coming this summer, as she was about the first. It has been a while since I was in this state. So no plans for another bun in the oven for us at the moment. Naya seemed to think it was about time though. What little girl hasn't stuffed her teddy bear or blanket up her shirt, enamored with the whole thought of a babe in the belly? I know I did once upon a time. I can think of about ten friends and two sisters-in-law that are pregnant right now. I am literally surrounded by signs of new life swelling and growing all around me. What a miracle and blessing our children are, whether they're the first or the tenth. I am waiting excitedly for the call from my life-long friend from back home in New Jersey who will meet her sixth baby at any moment. I still remember watching the birth of her first and I so wish I could hop a plane to be there with her. My friend shared this song that is so fitting for all you lovely mothers to be. You can listen to it here. I must get some pictures of the lovely mama's to be soon. Until then, here's a few more of Naya's baby bump.
