How did time fly by so quickly? With about 5.5 weeks to go, Baby Im will be gracing us with her beautiful presence in no time.

I still remember the flood of emotions I felt as Daniel and I looked at those pink double lines on the pregnancy test. We hugged each other and cried – mostly out of joy, partly out of fear.

Then the morning sickness started and I joked that perhaps this will be our first and last baby since the first trimester was so difficult.

Then, the celebration of my birthday, our 3rd anniversary, and soon to be my husband’s birthday . . . all milestone celebrations since they will be the last as not parents.

Through it all, we are humbled that God would choose us to carry on the next generation. We continue to pray for WISDOM, for love, for understanding, for mercy, for truth, for direction . . . for SO many things since we feel so inadequate to parent this child.

In a way, I think that is also the beauty of it all. Moment by moment relying not on our own strength, intelligence, human love, etc. . . but daily and humbly coming before God with our insufficiencies knowing that He is sufficient.
