I was talking to someone yesterday about her pregnancy, and it just got me thinking what a non-selfish act becoming a parent is. I know that for me and B right now it would just be too much with our schedules to start a family (we don't even spend enough time with the chinchilla). But it just amazes me how you have this new life in your family and suddenly you are not the most important anymore. All planning, anything you are going to do that day just centers around this little person. I know in myself sometimes I prioritize stupid things way too much (like going to the gym or running - not that those are bad things, but they shouldn't come before people). It's weird how I can see in myself that when I start worrying too much about stuff like that, or cleaning the house, or cooking a good dinner - I know God always finds a way to remind me that my eyes are not focused where they should be. Again, not that there's anything wrong with any of those things, but I know that I have a propensity for becoming obsessive, and confusion comes in when I start making things like that the most important. I have a feeling I need to let God straighten that out in me before its time for little ones. Anyway, to anyone reading, thanks for taking the time - these little moments of putting down my thoughts really help me get through studying. Everyone have a restful Sunday. Hopefully I'll be following up with those pictures at some point. Oh, I can't resist, here's one more from B's police academy graduation from awhile ago that I already have in a file (that's my brother-in-law with us):
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5

You hit the nail right on the head - Lee and I are cherishing every last minute we have as a twosome before the baby comes and takes 100% of our attention. We're super-excited to have the baby almost here, but we often say, "I'm going to miss these snuggles" as we lay on the couch together. It'll be a whole new ball of wax once there's a tiny person here!
As for blog etiquette: I never asked anyone for permission to put a link to their blog on mine - if they're not private, they probably welcome new people popping in. I think maybe I'd respond to one of their posts and say that I liked their blog and that they should stop over and visit. I think I left a link to my blog at that point, too. That's pretty much how I linked up with all the girls.
Good luck making new blogger buddies!
good luck with finals!!!! I definitely don't miss those law finals :-)
