So tonight some wonderful wonderful women through me a baby shower! Unfortunately, I didn't snap any pics because I wasn't even thinking about it. To be honest, I was just overwhelmed at how much love I felt from all of the wonderful people who came.
Russell's mom made a trip up from Lubbock today just to come to the baby shower because she knew that I wanted her to be there. I always joke with people about how I lucked out in the in-law department but it's really true! I'm so blessed to have an extended family that likes me AND I like them! :)
The baby shower was great and everything but it's made me realize, even more, how incredibly close I am to having our sweet baby bear here...in my arms...no more preggo belly!!! If you know me AT ALL you know that I'm a worrier, but for some reason, I'm not worried. Not anymore. It's bizarre, I know. The Lord has been so great to bless me with a wonderful husband and father who were able to give me a blessing earlier this week when I thought all hell was going to break loose and I was practically hyperventilating every other day. Since then, as promised, I haven't been freaking out. I've been calm and able to take things in stride. The things I thought were life-altering really aren't. The things that I just HAD to have before he gets here...I don't really need them.
Since my blessing I've been able to put things into perspective and see the things that really matter. No, my baby will not have EVERYTHING I want him to have right away (like...our own home) but in the long run, it's really not a big deal. He will have a home to come home to, he will have a little baby sized bed, and little puppies that love him, and diapers and clothes, and most importantly, a BIG family that loves him and wants to take care of him.
So this post is scatter-brained, I know. But I feel grateful for so many things tonight and didn't want to wait until tomorrow when maybe I don't have an urge to write. ;) I'm so grateful to a Heavenly Father who has blessed me beyond measure with more than I could ever deserve. What a wonderfully blessed life we're all living! Hopefully a good thought for you lovely readers to take with you.
