It's April 10 and little Soren is due on May 12. I absolutely cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone compared to my last one. Justin and I were so very prepared for Via's arrival by the time I was full term at 37 weeks. I will be 36 weeks along with Soren on Monday and I don't even feel remotely prepared. I guess the nice thing about it being Baby #2 is that we already know that we really just need diapers and a crib. We have both! We should be good to go until this little guy is at least four months old. :)
Yesterday we toured Woodwinds where I will be giving birth. It seems very nice and accommodating. We got to see the waterbirth suite and everything. Praying that we have a smooth labor and delivery and that Soren is just as healthy as can be.
Everyone keeps telling me that parenting really begins when you have two children. I suppose there is probably some truth to that. I don't by any means expect that life will become any easier when we bring our newborn home to our 18-month old. Even though life will certainly get harder with two, I'm terribly excited to have 12 weeks off during summer with my two little kiddos. We didn't exactly plan for this pregnancy, but we didn't not plan for it either (if you know what I'm saying...). If we could have planned though, this is pretty much perfect. After what seemed like the longest winter ever, I will have the summer off to go on lots of walks and clean up lots of messes and sing lots of toddler tunes and just be a momma.
I might have the summer off, but Justin will be busier than ever. One of our new adventures is that Justin has been given the opportunity to serve at Osceola Community Church and pioneer a 12 week Saturday night service for the duration of the summer. He will be under the leadership of his Dad. Justin will preach Saturday nights, and Larry will preach Sunday mornings. I'm already incredibly proud of the work that Justin has put into this undertaking, and I can't wait to see him in action as he executes the teaching gift that God has given him.
I'm going to try really hard to blog one more time before this baby is born. Someone hold me accountable! ;)
