This last month has been a roller coaster to say the least. Possibly more than any other time in our lives, we have put one foot in front of the other without knowing what is to come. For someone like me that likes to know the details, that has been extremely difficult. Everyone was certain Noah would join our family early, but God in His sovereignty has kept him safe inside thus far. Many of our current and future plans are in flux as we wait and see what God is going to do over the next month. In the midst of all of these things, it has been difficult to simply enjoy the here and now. I have a hard time enjoying this moment because I am so concerned about the next. So, it has been my aim these last few weeks to try and enjoy these moments with my baby. He will always be my first, the only one that I had completely to myself during infancy. So we are spending a lot of time snuggling and talking about baby Noah. We already know he is going to be an amazing brother. The ways that we see God at work in his little heart bring us to our knees! He is an amazing little boy, full of life and wonder and love...and we are just trying to soak in these last moments with this "baby"! These pictures aren't great (we are kind of living in a cave right now)...but the memories make our hearts burst!
This sweet couple was here in Delhi just before Caleb was born. They were so anxious to meet him but had to leave before he came. They met him months later in Thailand. They are so sweet to him, and Lord willing, if they are still in town, they will keep Caleb while we are at the hospital with Noah. They spoil him just like their own grandkids! And Caleb doesn't mind one bit..."hmmm, what's in the cup you've got there?"
"Ice cream?!!"
Jared was in classes and meetings all last week. While he was slaving away (leaving before 8 every morning and not getting home until after 9)...Caleb and I were just relaxing!
Yep! He stayed in his pajamas all day one day and we ate popcorn (along with some fruits and veggies) for lunch one day while watching Tom and Jerry (or in Caleb's world...cat and mouse).
He and Jared were snuggling on the couch under the blanket....it's cold inside! We told him to pretend like he was sleeping....and this is what we got!
He makes us laugh!!
