Getting to cuddle with a hiccuping baby in the middle of the night...priceless

Addictions
Cuddling my daughters
Seeing a big sister who adores her little sister
Gummy toothless grins
Baby giggling as I tickle her tummy
Being a mommy to two beautiful little girls
Watching Tal read stories to Liliana
Having a wonderful husband who loves me just the way that I am
Knowing that I am in the center of doing God's will being a stay at home Mom
Being surrounded by wonderful friends and family

Where did time go?
3 months old~June 2005
19 months old~October 2006
2 1/2 years old~August 2007
3 years old~March 2008While the last few weeks of waiting for Liliana to come have been pretty uncomfortable and a little stressful at times they have been a blessing in disguise. God has used this time to help me to reflect on His goodness and faithfulness these past three years with Talia. I have been so blessed to see this little girl grow, love, change, explore and learn. I love being her mommy and feel so honored that I get to witness how God is moving in her life. The last couple of weeks have been treasured times full of giggles, cuddling, book reading, memory making and absorbing the last its and bits of being a family of three. I am excited to enter this next chapter and season in our lives together as a family but am feeling a bit anxious as this change happens. I am eager to get to know this new person that God has knitted together, to discover her personality and to go through all of the different stages that go by so quickly that first year. My prayer is that I don't stress this next year by....that I would savor, enjoy and treasure this new season of my life. When I first had Tal I was so worried about making a mistake as a new Mom, trying to get everything right and while through my worrying I still had precious times with Tal, I want to let go any insecurities now instead of worrying through these next few months.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
~Philippians 4:4-7
God has also used this time to quiet my heart and help me to regain focus on Him. I have found myself longing for more depth with Him, to know Him more fully, and to truly discover who I am in Him. I have a tendency to want to play hide-and-seek with God...in my mind I sometimes think that if I hide from Him then He can't see me. He has so gently helped me to come into His light and fix my eyes on Him...the author and perfecter of my faith. I pray that this new season of life helps me to dive in further into a more intimate relationship with my Savior, my King. May I discover more depth of Him and abandon myself as He molds me into the woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend that He wants me to be. The following verse has been like a lifeline for me these past couple of weeks and I hope that it continues to be where I focus...may I be a woman who fears the Lord.
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
~Psalm 31:30

Baby Update #4
The latest is: still 4 cm dilated, 90% effaced, -1 station. My Dr. scheduled me to be induced on Sunday morning (if there is room--I have to call at 6am). Since I see him through the Everett Clinic it is never a guarantee that my Dr. will deliver me (they have rotations) so he scheduled Sunday as he is the Dr. on call. While I would not elect to be induced it could be a blessing if Liliana doesn't come before Sunday as I have Group-B Strep and this way I would get the antibiotics needed before going into labor. Since my labor with Talia went very quickly at the end my Dr. is concerned I won't get the antibiotics in time in case this labor goes quick too. Also, my Dr. said that he wouldn't start me on pictocin unless needed, he would break my water first to see if that would jump start things. Please continue to pray for us as we wait Liliana's arrival. Thank you!!!
