"Making a decision to have a child -- it's momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."    ~ Elizabeth Stone

     It makes me sad to think that this might be the last time I will be pregnant.  I don't know how many children we will have, but there is a very real possibility that I will never be pregnant again.  And, now I am getting close enough to the end of this pregnancy that I could, feasibly, labor at any moment.  Each time I feel this baby move, it could be the last time I feel a tiny kick inside of me.   There is no other feeling like that in the world, I am sure!  And, there certainly is no other experience like being pregnant...to carry this miracle of creation and wonder inside of my own body!  I don't have the words to describe it; my head and heart are full.
