As a believer in a Sovereign God who works all things to His plan, we can trust in His WORD - which contains everything we need for life and godliness. Prayer and faith are so much more a sure thing than imagery, meditation, and reflections of fear/thoughts of an unborn baby!!<br />-I laughed with you at the absurdity of such a notion they gave you!!!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566320782904346590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-21389079746561617082010-12-14T14:47:08.556-08:002010-12-14T14:47:08.556-08:00Glad things are going well- he'll be here SO s...Glad things are going well- he'll be here SO soon!!

You will NEVER know enough, you will NEVER know all the answers, and if you dare to think that you're "ready", your child will throw you a curve ball that you never expected. So since you're absolutely guaranteed to have no idea what you're doing, the best thing to do (I think) is to just keep asking God for grace. Because that's the only thing that's going to carry you through this whole parenting adventure. <br /><br />Feel better now? ;)Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367630628716619991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-50497642725590435142010-12-14T14:03:13.044-08:002010-12-14T14:03:13.044-08:00Cute blog re-do!

I went through ...Jen, you will be amazing parents! I went through the same stuff, I think all Mommies to be do. The best advice I got from someone was "PUT DOWN THE BOOKS-ONLY PICK THEM UP WHEN YOU HAVE A QUESTION...TRUST YOUR MOTHERLY INSTINCT" <br /><br />A million authors and experts will give you a million different opinions on the same situation, it is overwhelming, exhausting and counterproductive for your inner peace.<br /><br />I enjoyed the rest of my pregnancy much more after that (with an occasional glance at a book).Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378271089059982526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-29239352111407212042010-12-14T07:23:45.840-08:002010-12-14T07:23:45.840-08:00Glad things are going well, Jen!!!
Don't worr...Glad things are going well, Jen!!!<br /><br />Don't worry about not having an opinion on issue X - you'll have plenty of time because it never stops! Once you get through with infant "issues-that-need-opinions" it goes straight into toddler/child-issues, and from what I can see, into preteen/teen issues. It never stops! <br /><br />Parenting has challenged and stretched me far beyond anything that I could ever have imagined, and it's an ongoing, daily lesson (though having been an only child with zilch-o experience with kidlets can't have helped in that area). <br /><br />You are going to be awesome - I can't wait to learn from your expample!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301075330910381544noreply@blogger.com
