Just...! 35 weeks

   Last night over dinner we were talking about the baby,  
and how we hope things will go next week.  

Braden became serious and said:  
 "It's weird how much things are different
once God has taken some things away.  
Because if God REALLY gives us this baby,  
after not giving us the others,  
it's just going to be.....just....just....!!!"

I can see him mentally searching for a word
big enough
and not coming up with it.....
and I smile, 
because I can't, either.
And it's true,  each of my boys has been rejoiced over
and cried and prayed over at their birth.
Each a milestone,  a marker of happiness
in my life.
But this...
just unbelievable.

yes...it was "just" for me, too. Can't wait for you to have your "just" moment next week. I will celebrate with tears of joy and a sigh of relief. : )

Wow, 35 weeks. You're on my heart so often, Kate.

Oh Katie, I can't even imagine... I just can't.
"Just...." is so spot-on.
Praying with you!
