...Waiting...

So... I have been waiting for our Daughter to arrive since we found 

out we were expecting in December. 

I decided I wasn't going to sit around and twiddle my thumbs... :/

We had decided we would find out the gender in order that we might be 

a little more prepared, considering  we are living on a tight budget since  Willie is in school. 

There is always a test that needs payed for, books to be bought or the silly little expense 

of an extra class that needs payed for "right now!"

But there is a wait to find out ... and I had to find some way to keep busy 

I do have a part time job with my church, caring for  

"my kids"... The ones whose parents are in choir or orchestra. But that is 

only twice a week and special occasions.

I wanted to make baby things, but without knowing it was kind of hard.

I have a lot of friends who are pregnant or are having babies, or had babies...

so I started there. :) 

And this is where I learned that waiting can be a blessing.

I learned a lot about baby stuff, and sewing. 

I found a lot of fun projects to make for baby gifts.  

Then when the time came I started working on my own  baby stuff

which helped with the other end of waiting, but if I had never taken advantage 

of the beginning  part I would never have had the chance to  practice on my sewing.

So now that I have only 9 days or less for baby to come I will view it as a blessing

get some rest, try to get a few  last minute things done and just enjoy this few 

days with my husband, before baby and before He starts back to school.
