Today's the Day...

Twelve days over due date, and our littlest seems to have no desire to exit its comfy home on the inside, so the day has dawned when the consultants and midwives have decided enough is enough (and to be honest, I'm pretty fed up of waiting, and pretty keen to meet this little person!)

The last twelve days have been a lesson for me... In learning to let go (something I don't find easy!)... And hand the reigns over to my Heavenly Father who's perfect plans are better than my own. We never expected, after the punctuality of the last two, that we would end up waiting so long for this little one. This pregnancy literally flew by... The last three weeks have crawled...

But there has been blessing in that. Appreciating the last couple of weeks as a family of four... The ease of routine, the blessing of sunshine and time with two happy little girls. Blessing, but I have also cried tears of frustration and disappointment... Learning that I a not in control is not easy.

I let a few silent tears roll down my face as I cuddled Heidi before bed last night. I am SO excited about  this next baby... But it was the realisation that this baby of mine, at two, will do some serious growing up in the next few months. She has had the luxury of being the "baby" much longer than Ava ever had, and I'm praying she'll make the adjustment to big sister as smoothly as our Ava did at the grand old age of eighteen months.

The girls are thrilled that at last their baby is coming... And we can't wait to introduce him or her...

So we appreciate your prayers today. This morning I will go into hospital and we should have some news by the end of the night (I hope!!!)
