25 weeks pregnant-random thoughts

Today marks the 25 week marker. That means only 15 more weeks to go until the expected arrival date of our first born. Last night I was putting different commitments onto our calendar and realizing how quickly the next 15 weeks will pass (or so it seems). I laid in bed last night feeling our little one flipping and kicking about and being amazed at God's great design plan. I pray that between now and December I am able to pray often to prepare myself to become a mother. I have found great inspiration in reflecting upon The Blessed Virgin Mary and her model of how to be a mother, I aspire to be more like her each day. More thoughts to come later, but these are the few things swimming in my head right now.
