Mom to Be

{No this is not our regular attire.}

My dear neighbor and friend Lesley and her husband Sam are going to be welcoming their wonderful daughter Matilda into the world tomorrow. I can't believe that 9 months have passed so quickly- I'm sure that Lesley would say otherwise. Not having any children of my own yet, I am constantly thinking about what these two amazing people must be thinking and experiencing. To go through the process of a pregnancy, waiting for a child to be born, thinking about it, preparing for it, then in an instant your whole life changes. Today they are a married couple and tomorrow a family. That is an extremely powerful thought. One that I'm not ready for now and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be ready. Mr. Grubbs and I want a family, we will have a family but until I see the two pink lines saying we are going to have one, I guess I'll always have a doubt.

I have amazing examples to learn from. My mother and father are the two greatest parents I know. All be it, I'm biased but they have instilled in me everything that I feel is important for a strong, healthy family to have.

So for Mr. and Mrs. Graham, I wish you a healthy, comfortable, and loving delivery of Matilda. We'll be sending happy thoughts your way and we are so excited to meet little Miss. Congratulations and enjoy your new family, may it bring you all the joy in the world!
