My wonderful husband has indulged me on every item of the honey-do list and we are in pretty good shape. The crib is put together. The car seat is washed. We have diapers and pacifiers. Starting Saturday we'll have our live-in Paul-watcher. So lots of people have been asking what we need.
a space heater for the nursery
a sit and stand stroller
a couple of spare covers for my boppy pillow
money toward any of this and our hospital stay
This being said, we are acutely aware of how good we have it. Yet another of my friends has had a miscarriage. We've had a very boring pregnancy. My husband has a steady job. We are surrounded by people who want to help us. We have a warm house and quiet neighbors. We have a healthy three-year-old. We don't know why we get all this and we are so thankful. We can't wait to meet our new little boy and show him all the blessings God's prepared for him. Why doesn't every baby get to be born into a situation like this?

I've been thinking so much about this too...how lucky we are. How blessed. How blessed our babies are, and how some are not so blessed to come into warm, safe families where they are so well loved or cared for. As painful as it is I want God to keep breaking our hearts for these and turn that into some sort of small action...such an overwhelming thought, though.
