Getting Ready for Baby

The last 24 hours have--by far--been the craziest, most wonderful we have ever experienced. Bryan valiantly worked through the day, keeping focused on the prize. And I hurried around trying to get organized--not very successfully. We've so blessed and excited by everyone's kind congratulations, prayers, and best wishes. I do believe my Facebook and e-mail will explode!

Last night, we started off attempting to register, but soon realized that was not going to happen. We will hopefully be able to wrap that up within a few days. Bryan found his "man" diaper bag, and that's what we'll be taking with us today.

One load of laundry is washed, and another is swishing now. We were so blown away when we arrived at the house at like ten o'clock to find several bags of baby clothes and goodies waiting on our doorstep! And this morning a dear friend brought by beautiful tulips! We are so loved!

On our bathroom counter sets a Bible-verse-of-the-day calendar. Today's verse is 2 Corinthians 9:15--"Thank God for his Son--a gift too wonderful for words!" Amen!

I've been humming all morning . . . .

"Yet saints their watch are keeping,

Their cry goes up 'How long?'

And soon the night of weeping,

Shall be the morn of song."

Only 45 minutes until we leave . . . .
