Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is baby day.

Tomorrow we will meet Baby Carter.

Tomorrow one more will be added to our family.

Tomorrow Aiden will become a big brother.

Tomorrow...is a big day. A day I have prayed for so long and here I find myself full of mixed emotions.

I'm excited. God has chosen to bless our family with another boy and I cannot wait to meet him. I'm excited to meet this precious child and see how my love for him will overflow.

I'm also worried. I'm worried about the surgery and everything that goes along with it. I'm worried for Carter's health. I'm worried for Aiden. Becoming a big brother will be huge change for him and I pray he will adapt well and love his little brother.

And this is where I find myself between excited and worried and trying ever so desperately to not let the worry overtake the excitement. So, today I'm praying hard on Matthew 6:34, "Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." And Phillipians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." God is in control over tomorrow, therefore I do not need to worry. All I need to do is pray. Pray for the surgery, for Carter, for Aiden, for Jeff, and for whatever else happens to pop up into this crazy mind of mine. And today, I will focus on our sweet family of three and enjoy my last day of being pregnant.

Tomorrow will be a great day!
