My titles never mean anything.
So I've been thinking how it may be difficult to keep a blog for each girl when so many things may intersect. But then tonight at mass (just thought of this) Father asked us to read each passion story from all of the gospels and compare them... so maybe these can be like the Wilmot Gospels (I say very lightheartedly -- this is no bible story). But hopefully that will not limit our beautiful children to a certain number up front. Brian and I offer our fertility back to God as a gift since it first is a gift from God -- co-creators with Christ for human life!? God is so unfathomably gracious and so many people throw away the gift! That said, I know sanity and frugality will come into great consideration as we try to shape this little family, but Josie has taught me so much and among the greatest things, how precious (and fragile) human life is and how God has all control.
See where we are intersecting already?
Anyway sweet little Mary-girl, today you slept in, not too much wiggling all day, and have woken up this past hour or so. Ob thinks you are head down (although he said that it didn't matter yet so much). But I really thought I felt you flip a couple weeks ago. This morning I thought how glad I was to not be pumping to be able to wear a normal bra for a few months because I plan on breastfeeding you for a long time and really often. Hopefully. And I hope I will not forget that resolution when I am sleep-deprived but still giving you night feeds later on. But right now, those prospects sound incredible. Can't wait.
I can't believe you are only months away from being born. You will be full term on MY birthday! May 18th. How fun!? Mommy will be 25.
I was thinking last night how busy the first 5 years of my 20s have been:
20: engaged to Daddy
21: married to Daddy
22: graduated FSU and conceived your sister Josephine Grace
23: Josie is born!
24: bought a house, conceived you, Mary-girl
25: (probably unless you get here even just a day before full term) meet Mary on the outside!
Busy!?!? But sooo wonderful. Mommy is so incredibly blessed.
Tonight I prayed a very Holy Spirit inspired prayer after communion about you Ms. Mary. I felt an awesome peace and connection with the Father and prayed that you would be very good. I have a lot of faith and hope in that prayer, and lots of faith and hope in you because God is sooooo very good!!!
