Living so far from my mother and sisters during pregnancy has not been ideal. In the early months of severe "morning sickness" I would have given just about anything to have my mom cook an occasional meal for me (actually for Nathan) or just give me a sympathetic hug. As pregnancy became more pleasant in the 2nd trimester, I would have loved to be able to sit and chat with my sisters about the excitement of it all, ask their advice, and let them see my belly progression. : ) And I'd love to be with them all now as I await the arrival of our little one and want so badly to have them be some of the first to meet him.
But it wasn't in God's plan for me to be with my family during this time of life. So instead of spending time together, we've been filling the miles between us with phone calls, skype dates, and sharing pictures. I'm so thankful for their love and constant joy and excitement for us despite being so far away.
Here are a few of the pictures I've shared with my family over the past few months. Pregnancy has been a long, challenging, joyful and exciting journey that will (hopefully) soon come to an end as we meet our little miracle.
