My version of perfect

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee and was sweating to death. This is a nightly occurrence these days, as I wake up to pee and/or roll over every ten minutes. Carl immediately asked in a super zombie like state "are you alright babe?" to which I responded "Ya, I'm just sweating to death and I have to pee." I waddled (literally) to the bathroom and as I got back in bed, Carl comes walking in with the fan that he had left in his office earlier in the day. He plugs it in, turns it on, jumps back in bed (half asleep still) and asks "Is that better?" "Yes."

He is pretty perfect. My perfect. Perfect for me. I love my hubs so much and am so excited to start our journey together into parenthood. Canaan is due in 11 days and we could not be more excited. It feels so surreal. I have dreamed of becoming a mommy my entire life and I cannot even imagine how I will feel when I first see my son's face. Carl and I sit and stare at my belly in awe of God's goodness and His love. I am reminded of what a gracious God we serve and that His love for our son far surpasses our understanding. I feel so blessed that the Lord chose me as Canaan's mommy and I cherish this important job that I get to have for the rest of my life.  Thank you Lord for the gift of our son, Your son. We love him unconditionally and will cherish him forever.
