tomorrow!

I'm having a baby tomorrow!

I'm nervous about the C-section,... but my primary feeling is that I'm just ready for it to be over so I can hold my little guy!

Here are a few pictures Jess and I took today. The last of the belly pictures!

My friend Janelle made this GORGEOUS quilt for Peter. Isn't it beautiful? The fabric matches everything in the nursery so perfectly! I absolutely love it!

I've been thinking a lot about Jude this week. We're so excited and have so much joy about welcoming Peter into our family, that it makes Jude's absence feel fresh again. Jess and I both also continue to battle some doubt and fear that everything really will go as it should. Having come through such a painful loss, we sometimes still find it hard to believe that we'll actually be able to bring a baby home this time.

 Then we sang the song Blessed Be Your Name in church this morning. It was so perfect. Remembering Jude, and anticipating Peter; and trusting God with both of them.

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

Thank you all for your continued prayers! I can't wait to get some pictures of my little man on here later this week!
