40 weeks with #4!
My sweet baby boy, I can’t believe TODAY is your DUE DATE! Carrying you these past 40 weeks has been the greatest privilege and joy.
I remember the day of your positive pregnancy test. The week of the 2020 Covid outbreak, met with the immediate feeling you’d be a blessing through it all.
I remember the peace I felt giving two weeks to my Nurse Practitioner position, knowing I wanted to care for you and keep you safe.
I remember your first ultrasound. We could barely see your heartbeat, and begged God to protect you as you grew.
I remember your anatomy scan, the shock of finding out you were another boy! The relief of seeing your place among brothers.
I remember feeling distracted through your pregnancy, glancing down to the amazement of how you’d grown.
I remember feeling your kicks for the first time. The look of joy on your brothers faces when their hands felt you move, your father’s joy as he captured my growing belly.
I remember praying to the saints to help us name you, dedicating you to Our Lady, and praying before the tabernacle for your protection.
My sweet son, you’re a blessing to us, and being your mother is the greatest honor!
As you prepare to enter the world, know that your father and I dream of a better world for you…
where your brothers and sisters are protected from abortion,
where women embrace their feminine genius,
where men stand for truth and fight for justice,
where the sanctity of marriage is upheld,
where we use God’s tools for the good,
where His mercy and love abounds,
where peace begins with a smile,
where saints are made.
Tag a mama friend to remind her the dignity of her unique, irreplaceable, most important job in the world!!!!
Let’s pray for ALL mothers, and ALL women to be “impregnated with the JOY OF THE GOSPEL!!!”
Pray for this sweet son of ours & know we are praying for YOU!
