Seasons Change
I'm still pregnant. 38 weeks, 3 days.
As I near the end of this season, I am anxious to have baby here (of course!). But I'm also a little sad to know that this could be my last pregnancy. It's hard for me to think that I may be leaving behind a season of my life. When our other babies were born we were living in babyland. We had babies and toddlers all over. Now our family is made up of big kids. I'm realizing how quickly seasons change.
It's like when we are in our twenties, we think we'll always be twenty. Then one day we blink and we are thirty-five and wondering what it will be like to be forty and how the heck did we get so far from twenty!
For the first time ever, we'll experience parenting a teenager all the way down to a newborn. Wow! Talk about new seasons. So as I prepare to leave behind this season of pregnancy and our family enters a new season of five children, teenager to newborn, I want to savor all the moments. I want to remember.
A grand adventure is about to begin.

Thinking about it may be sad but you will cherish all the new seasons to come. A teenager to a newborn......I think that is amazing. Just wait until you are 60+ and think how the heck did we get so far from twenty! But then there are the grands and everything is wonderful......especially being gramma!
I know what you mean. Time is flying.
When I had my 5th, I never thought she would be our last. Like you, we were living in babyland...and then the babies stopped coming! Will we have anymore? That's completely up to God. =)
You are so close...I can just imagine how excited your family is getting. =)
I will be waiting for an announcement soon!
The wonderful thing about seasons is that they bring all sorts of wonderful things with them. Praying for an easy delivery and for time to pass a little more slowly for you to drink in the warmth of holding the little one close and the sweet baby's breath when he/she is born.
Blessings!
