July 17th already?

It is so hard to believe that yesterday was my original due date... boy, how time flies. Because of measurements in ultrasound, the due date has been pushed back to August 16th- but that seems so close!

When you stop to think about it, there is so much to be done in preparing for a baby to come... washing clothes, preparing a place for him to sleep, cleaning the house... It seems as if I have DEFINATELY procrastinated long enough, and I have a lot of work ahead of me. Today is "Tackle the laundry and figure out where it all goes" day. I have never had to organize a little person before- they certainly need a lot of things! Diapers, wipes, clothes... it seems to be a mountain.

I know I can get it all done though- one minute of the day at a time.

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel toward my Heavenly Father. I know He is a God of miracles. Sometimes things happen in life that are difficult to experience, yet they teach us lessons that we would never have learned otherwise. I know He has watched over me throughout my life, in good times and in difficult ones, helping me along the way. I am grateful for every trial, every bump along the road, and every blessing I have been given. I am especially grateful to know, and to see, the love that my Heavenly Father has for each of His children.
