People who are waiting for their first child have such a hard time of it!! I can't imagine how hard it must be. I am very thankful because my life is so very, very full!!! The last four months have just flown by because I have had so much to do!
Right now for instance, I am doing up my boys' life journals. This is something I began when my first son was born, and sixteen years later, I am still continuing. I asked my sixteen year old when he wanted me to stop his journal. He told me he would love me to continue after he leaves home. He said he would definitely read it and so would his children. He said if he had a journal of his dad or my lives, when we were kids, he would cherish it.
All I have ever done is simply write milestones on the calendar and have a document on my computer desktop, and as things happen or funny or cute things are said, I write them down. Then when I have time, I compile the lot into a document and run off a copy for myself. After this I just edit them down to suit the child who's journal it is going into.
It is wonderful for the boys to be able to go back and read their own history. Stories or little comments they made. Incidents with their brothers or me. Those are priceless memories!
So now that that job is almost up to date, I have a few other unfinished projects to complete. Plus my hands and time are so, so full with raising six boys!!! There isn't a moment to be bored! I haven't had time to notice the last four months fly by!!
And now I have this absolute wonderful feeling of bliss thinking of two little girls in Ethiopia. Now that the paperwork is done, it all starts to feel real!
