Today Is THE Day!!

It's 5:30 and I'm just about ready to leave for the hospital to have my baby. I never thought the day would sneak up on us this fast! I had a HORRIBLE night's sleep last night... I didn't fall asleep until after midnight and then I was WIDE awake from 2-4. I kept singing the song (In my head, of course), "I Saw God Today." I thought I would share the lyrics with you because they are perfect for the occasion!


I just walked down the street to the coffee shop
had to take a break
I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight
I saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk
pushing up through the concrete
like it was planted right there for me to see
the flashin' lights, the honkin' horns
all seemed to fade away
in the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today

Chorus:
I've been to church
I've read the book
I know He's here, but I don't look
near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I'd just slow down to stop and stare
opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

I saw a couple walking by they were holding hands
Man, she had that glow
yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show
I stood there for a minute takin' in the sky
lost in that sunset
a splash of amber melted in the shades of red

Chorus

I got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She's sleeping like a rock
My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks
She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
My brand new baby girl
She's a miracle

Nice song, huh? It makes me cry, every time.

Alrighty, the next time I get on here I will officially be a mommy to TWO princesses! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and prayers as we start this big journey today!
