Treasuring the Present: 29 Weeks

Today, I'm treasuring exactly where Hubby and I are in life and in this pregnancy.

We:

• still have a little time before our baby arrives
• have a to-do list to accomplish before our baby arrives... and we have a chance to complete everything on this list
• have a few baby showers ahead of us, and we are excited at the anticipation
• still have some time with family and travel ahead of us before baby
• still have a chance to prepare our work for maternity leave/newborn life
• both have some pregnancy symptoms... but nothing we cannot live with
• still have some childbirth classes and practicing to do
• have time to decide on names
• don't know how much time is left before baby... but we can reasonably hope for about two months -- we could always be in for a surprise, but a reasonable hope is two months
• haven't spent all that much on our baby yet... we can still hope that we won't have to
• haven't made any major decisions about Life After Baby -- just lots of prayer
• are tremendously in love with each other
• still live in the world of parenting where we have agreed on most things and made very few errors
• are able to sleep through the night without interuption
• are able to dote on our two animals... and on each other
