The Best Things Come in Little Packages

Larry and I recently found out that we're expecting a little one! Naturally, we were overjoyed and I was fully overwhelmed that my body was housing and nourishing a small life in the image and likeness of God. Wow!

Until now, it was easy to laugh about pickle cravings, be rather unsympathetic about a pregnant woman's constant fatigue, and trivialize the importance of decisions like "is a little boy going to have permanent psychological damage if we name him Thaddeus." Well, pickles seem amazing to me right now, nap-time is more appealing to me than to my night-owl Sophomores, and every new name I hear is a candidate for serious consideration. So much changes because a blue plus-sign appears on a stick...yet, at the same, time this cross signifies a blessing, another soul nestled beneath my heart and entrusted into my incompetent hands.
