Well, just a few more hours before Maya is on the outside. This is the last pregnant picture. Unfortunately, I think the look on my face says it all . . . tired, uncomfortable, nervous about the induction and delivery tomorrow, etc. We'll head to the hospital around 8 tomorrow morning and the next time you hear from us, Lord willing, we'll be posting baby pics! Please pray for us as we experience this very big first, cross culturally, and in some cases, in our second language. We want to be a light to the staff that we deal with tomorrow. I really want to abide in His peace, but honestly, tonight I'm really struggling with worry. Worrying about being induced, all the things that could go wrong, all the things that they do "differently" here that I really don't want them to do (both to me and to Maya), and even things like worrying about whether I will love her and how unprepared I feel to become a mother. Please pray that I will cast my cares on the One who cares for me, and not let the enemy steal the joy of this amazing experience. THANK YOU!

I'm so weepy reading this! Praying, praying, praying. You are going to be the most amazing mama. On the edge of our seats in Kansas...
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm thinking that Maya is on the outside and you are recovering. At least, that's what I'm hoping. You guys are going to be wonderful parents. When she is born, He puts a love and intuition in you that is unimaginable. It's pure joy and worship. Praying for you!
