Expecting

Expecting.
Isn't that a wonderful word?
It sounds so full...if that makes any sense?  Full of promise and hope and anticipation. Whether you're expecting a baby or just your next Amazon.com order...expecting is such a fun state to be in.

If we are talking about expecting, as in a child, I prefer the term "expecting" to "pregnant".  Mostly because...I'm the only one pregnant, but me and Billy and the boys and our whole family is expecting.

We're expecting joy and love beyond measure.  We're expecting a little person who we won't be able to imagine our lives without.

I'm expecting sleepless nights and tears of exhaustion.  I'm expecting dreamy milk-drunk baby moments and diaper blowouts.  

I'm expecting feelings of abundance and humbling gratitude for the richness that is life.

And, as always, I will leave room to expect the unexpected :)

Who are you little baby?  We cannot wait to meet you.
