Week 7
Well, we've only known for 2 weeks now and it seems like an eternity. I'm soooooo ready for this baby to get here and yet for some reason I have to wait 7 more months! What in the world? Why, oh God, why did You make this process so long? Do you think this is a hidden part of the curse? Not only would women have to endure the pain of childbirth but expectant parents would have to wait 9 interminable months to see their precious little one. Well, emotionally I'm ready, but mentally I still have a LONG way to go.
There are days when I'm so excited and can't wait to get there, but honestly other days all the logistical and practical things of having children start to get to me. How are we gonna pay for insurance? Where do we get her social security card since we live overseas? Where do we buy furniture? How does feeding work? What kind of diapers are good? Will I be a good dad? What if...how...when...where...why... All the questions and unknowns come flooding in. It can be quite overwhelming to be perfectly honest.
Aside from all that, Pregnancy Center has exciting news for us this week. Our little bundle of joy has doubled in size since last week and is now the size of a blueberry. The hands and feet are emerging from her developing little stubs of arms and legs. All these tiny little adjustments and growths that are appearing as she develops and I can't see a thing. It really is amazing how intricate the growth of a human being is, the amazing work that God does to create this tiny little person that will one day be born. I don't understand how people can look at the process of how a child grows and develops and NOT believe in God. That stuff doesn't happen by chance or coincidence. There is definitely a divine Supreme Being who puts our bodies together, like a neat little puzzle. "Before I formed you, I knew you, I knit you together in your mother's womb." So comforting to know that even though I have no idea really what is going on in my sweetheart's tummy, God is present even in the womb, actively at work creating another perfect little baby in His image, a child that will grow up in a Christian home and will one day be a witness to His glory and greatness. Truly our God is an amazing God that works wonders no man can fully know or understand.
