I can’t wait for my little dude to be born!

Of course, I can’t wait to meet him face to face and experience that magical moment. But also, seeing Deanna bravely take on all the physical challenges that come with pregnancy has made me especially eager for the chance to be able to help out more. He’s in the stage of plumping up, which is no easy ordeal for his mama. I want him to show up healthy and her to heal well.

At the same time, I’m realizing that it’s a very special season for us all. Never before have I been in a stretch of life quite like this one, and never again will I be anticipating my first kid. It’s a really, really unique time. One that I prayed for for a really long time.

It’s a deeply joyful time right now, even if it is full of stress and restlessness. Thanks, life, for keeping things spicy.
