waiting {nugget edition}

taken at 32 weeks... there's no way I'm getting into a dress & heals now.

well, we are three days away from our due date, january 9. this wednesday the doctor told me that Nugget is definitely going to be taking his/her sweet time and began discussing the "what if's" of inducing. woof. this season of waiting is unlike any other time, yet so similar to other times of waiting. actually, love the past few days I've been reminded of another waiting period as I try to put into words the feelings of this one...

two years ago today, Michael proposed to me, but the days leading up to that proposal were full of mind tricks, anticipation, and, honestly, frustration. I was so annoyed when things didn't happen when I though they would, but when he proposed, it was as if the Lord just said, "I told you I had this." one thing of which I am convinced: God's timing is always better than my own.

this waiting for Nugget's arrival is a little different than Michael's proposal because we will definitely meet Nugget in the next week and a half... but it could also happen at any time. honestly, I would much rather this happen sooner rather than later for multiple reasons: 1. I'm so over being pregnant; 2. I can't wait to see this little one's face and get to know his/her personality; and 3. I would like to avoid all the medical interventions that would likely have to happen if we were induced. however, I know that God's timing is way more perfect than my own. God knows this little life inside of me; He has been knitting Nugget together inside of me for the past 9 months. He has planned out each and every one of Nugget's days already... "when as yet there was not one of them." **see Psalm 139** trusting the Lord's timing has never been a strength of mine; however, I am thankful that God has given me His Holy Spirit, who is building this trust inside of me. that's the beauty behind the waiting: I'm not in this alone. the Lord is with me every step of the way, helping me to take each step in trusting His perfect plan. 

hopefully I will have news in the next week about our first time meeting Nugget, but until then, see ya, loves!
