Ready, Set.....GO!

Of course, I can't sleep....in just a few short hours we will welcome our third beautiful little girl into our family. The house is quiet and my brain is racing with random thoughts and unfocused feelings of what is to come.

I am excited and anxious to meet sweet baby Hunter and I can't wait to see Brian holding his tiny newborn daughter in his strong arms, for the third time. And I am even more excited to experience Maddie and Ally's reaction to her. They are already making plans for her, things to teach her and games to play with her. Ally has informed me that she will teach her to blow a bubble with her gum....but only when she turns two, she says. And Maddie is writing songs to sing to Hunter when she can't fall asleep and books to read to her. They are written on her notebook paper in her own words and silly spelling and tucked away in envelopes, that she has crammed into the baby bag that we are taking to the hospital. It is all so sweet and she isn't even born yet. I can't wait to see what more these two big sisters have up their sleeves.

The time is here and I am feeling SO blessed to be at this point in my life....to experience something soon that I never imagined, being the mom of THREE girls. And to be warmed by their hugs, smothered with their kisses, and being offered up in their sweet and innocent prayers is beyond anything that I could have ever hoped for in my life. I am beyond blessed and in the quiet of this house and in the quiet of my heart I thank God, who has given me the incredible gift of little girls.

It is 12:01 a.m. and I am getting up in three and a half hours to welcome Hunter into our lives......Ready, set......GO!
