Babies

This week I feel the weight (literally and figuratively) of being 33 weeks along with baby number three and the reality that in just a few short weeks a newborn will be a part of our family. I still have some necessary prep to be ready for Butterfly Kitty...1. register at the hospital 2. rest so that Butterfly Kitty doesn't come sooner than she needs to 3. find infant car seat and a few other necessities before her arrival 4. finish cleaning out nursing books/materials to turn study corner in bedroom into a nursery 5. enjoy time with Lucy and Samuel as we wait for this new addition to our family 6. trust the Lord that all the detail will work out - He is always faithful!

I've been looking over pics from the last several years and being reminded of Samuel's arrival and Lucy's arrival. I can't imagine life without them and its so emotion stirring to look back at those pics and remember how quickly time passes. I want to just soak up every minute.

Here are a few pics I found of Lucy's arrival - I love to see Samuel's joy at discovering his sister. I hope the wonder of new addition will be welcome and exciting to them this time too.

This is taken the afternoon before Lucy was born (he was 19 months old) - he's never really known life without Lucy. What a stinking cutie!
Waiting for Lucy
She's arrived safe and sound. As you might remember we didn't know if Lucy was a boy or a girl - but I just "knew" she was a girl - my little Lucy.
It's been all smiles ever since....well, most of the time.
