The word prompt for this week's Five Minute Friday is NEW. Perfect!
Ready. Set. Go.
NEW LIFE!
I keep dreaming...of what he or she will-
look like.
smell like.
be like.
Carrying a baby in your womb changes you as a person. I wonder God's purpose for allowing such a miracle to grow for 9 months within a mother's tummy. Is it to change the growing baby or change the woman? I think both.
Even though I can picture that wonderful baby smell,
feel soft baby skin against my cheeks,
hear their little cooing,
{since I've birthed 2 other children}...
It is always so NEW! So special!
Looking forward to meeting our little blessing any day now. Stay tuned...
So excited for you!! What a wonderful way to describe new!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the big announcement, Traci. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, stunningly beautiful. I love what you have written, and I hope and pray of the day, that I too get to experience this. May you be blessed for the rest of your pregnancy. Have a great weekend. Nics
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and how truly exciting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that God uses a baby to change the mother and the baby for good ... ever expanding love... always good!
I thought for a minute you were showing us your new blessing. I am so excited to see this new blessing. how are you feeling
ReplyDeleteOH, I loved being pregnant! I know you are beautiful on the outside as well as in. What a blessed time. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeletePerfect post today! So excited for see your new little one.
ReplyDeleteso excited for you and waiting on pins and needles to hear about your new blessing!
ReplyDeletePrecious post, SO excited for you =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! My third baby is 10 months old now, and I can so relate to your thoughts! And even after 3 pregnancies the wonder is still there, maybe even mores than with the first!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post, Traci. So much to look forward to. I'm amazed at how much God teaches us through children. I don't have any of my own, but I am learning so much just from hearing the hearts of women like you. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteawwww, that's so sweet!! seriously. my "baby" is almost 20 months old & I was thinking "I'm done." ... but you reminded me of SO MANY things a NEW life adds to a family ... Praying you get to meet your new little one SOON!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How blessed you are :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Traci, yes ... always new. :) "Is it to change the growing baby or change the woman?" What a wonderful question, and I think it's both. Nothing in life has changed more more (aside from my salvation) than becoming a mom. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing defines new like a newborn baby. Congratulations to you!
ReplyDeleteLoved your thoughts on pregnancy, especially "I wonder God's purpose for allowing such a miracle to grow for 9 months within a mother's tummy. Is it to change the growing baby or change the woman? I think both." Such wonderful observation! Thanks!

HOW VERY EXCITING!!! May God's light and love shine upon you as you experience newness in the days to come :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see pictures of your precious little one! Praying for you sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI do believe each pregnancy is different.. just like each child is.. each one a special little blessing in his/her own way. Praying for a safe delivery for you and little one Traci.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! Your post pulled me here. I have 2 daughters - an 8mth old baby and a toddler. They both inspired and still inspire all the wonderful things u wrote about. CONGRATULATIONS!
