Today at my doctor's appointment, we learned that Brennan is definitely head-down and that I'm 1 cm dilated. Full term is 37 weeks, which I'll hit this weekend. I'm really hoping that things continue to progress and that he's here before Christmas (whether on his own or through induction). It's hard not to be so anxious knowing so many family and friends will be in town in the days leading up to Christmas. I can't wait for them all to meet him and love on him. And as I sit here typing, feeling very pregnant and uncomfortable, I can't help but think of another woman who felt about this way so many hundreds of years ago. I realize that I'm not giving birth the THE Son of God, but the responsibility and awesome-ness of the event we're about the experience is definitely in front of me. Ultimately, Brennan is God's son. He is on loan from God. God simply uses me, as Brennan's mom, to raise him. And I pray that Brennan will come to know and love and worship God and follow Him. I pray that he'll grow to be a great man of God.
These cold, snowy nights will be so much warmer with two babies to snuggle.

Awwww. I had to find a kleenex for this post. I remember what it felt like to be huge and pregnant around Christmas last year (and I still had two months to go!) and feeling the same way about Mary. :)
Everything works out and will be alright! I believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. This has been our verse from Psalms that we Lean on since our move from Hudson! The whole chapter is great. I cannot wait to see the picture of the baby boy! And Melody You are amazing in all ways-as a wife, mother, teacher, blogger, and family! Love to all, dt
