Anticipation!

The room is ready and we are about two weeks from baby Joseph's due date. Since we didn't know the sex of Rebekah, we have pretty neutral nursery bedding. I still love the Alphabet Soup decor!

I really wouldn't mind if he decided to come a little early. The last few weeks are always the most difficult. Not because I am uncomfortable, thankfully, I have had a very easy pregnancy and besides a little heartburn once in a while, no real problems. The most difficult part of these last few weeks is the anticipation of the unknown. When will labor start? We will need a c-section? What will he look at? Will my parents make it down fast enough to watch the girls? I have enjoyed looking back at baby pictures of our girls. It has been helpful for the girls to see pictures of themselves when they were little too. Rebekah was only 15 months old when she because a big sister the first time. She was great and very loving, but really doesn't remember it much. This will be a big change for them and I have started preparing them for having to be patient while I am nursing. I thought I would share a few newborn pictures of the girls and family pictures: 

 Rebekah Sue Arnold, 8 lb 5 oz, 21 inches 
 Family of 3!

 Eve Marie Arnold, 4 lb 15 oz, 19 in
Lydia Mae Arnold 5 lb 6 oz, 19 in

Family of 5!
As we wait for this little new blessing, we are reminded that we need to rest assured in God's timing.
