Need Some Sleep

Okay, I have officially come to a point where I am no longer sleeping well. I spend a good portion of the night tossing and turning from one side to the other - and sleeping on my back absolutely doesn't work anymore. It's pretty nuts! Some nights I turn on a lamp and read, or get up and walk around, or just stare into the dark and think about how much I'd love to be asleep! Usually the baby is awake too, and "dances" on the side of my tummy that is resting on the bed.

It has actually become a really awesome time to pray - because what else do I have to do! I usually end up falling asleep once I get into prayer, but it's a really special time and I'm happy for it. It's given me a lot of time to reflect on what type of mom I want to be - and then to pray for the wisdom, patience and energy to become that type of mom. I am definately falling more and more in love with this little person. I dream about being able to snuggle that little body, and kiss all those fingers and toes. I also can't wait to see my husband holding his little baby! It is amazing how God has created us to carry life, and how we can become so in love with a baby long before we ever even see it.

I wanted to put a prayer or verse up in the baby's room. I made this little picture, and just need to find a frame for it so I can put it up.
