Babies make the world go'round

I heard some phenomenal news last week: A girlfriend of mine and her husband are expecting!!! I learned this around 10:00pm but couldn't fall asleep until well after 2:00... So many thoughts! So many memories of something we just experienced a few short months ago, yet at the same time forever ago.

Ah pregnancy... The nausea, the excitement, the unknown, the aches, the emotions, the experience of your clothes tightening around your belly. The comments from friends, the soft smiles from strangers. The 'overwhelmingness' of baby STUFF. There are s0 many unknowns (and the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know!)... But the one known, for sure, is that God entrusted you with a child. A teeny, tiny babe in your belly. And all you have to do is love, nourish, and protect it.
