Today is rainy and I decided to edit some pictures of the last few weeks/days. Wade celebrated his 1st birthday with a very very small party =) I don't think he new the difference. haha! We still plan on having a little part for him...though maybe almost 2 months after his birthday.
Here is the cake! Wade had carrot cake for his birthday...it turned out VERY good, and he thought....you'll see =)
Now pictures of Wade =)
By this Wade was tired of picture ( there were more)
The fan is off... o.o
So he thought...it was disgusting! XD
So he threw it all on the floor :)

On the weekend Abuelito came to visit Abuelita ( and Wade). Mom has been here longer than planned since baby Ben has taken longer than expected.
Wade reading a book to Abueltito :)

Still earlier this month, Isaac's people were very nice to throw us a baby shower for Benjamin Isaac. Everything was very nice and the cake was VERY yummy Puerto Rican cake ( mmmmm....I want some now!)
*********************************************
Here is Mom with Wade. She has been sooooo much help! And Wade loves her :)
These were pictures taken on September 11, baby Ben's due date.
Wade loves to go out esp parks
Mom and I
Walking...trying to maybe encourage baby Ben to come.

And remembering September 11, 2001

Well, we are still waiting for the day Benjamin Isaac is to arrive. I know it's soon, but when I don't know. Things are moving in the direction though. Today he seems very low. Praying he comes this week! :)
And as we wait, Wade is thoroughly enjoying Abuelita, that for some reason is nicer to him than Mom and Daddy XD
.....There he goes....

I was writing to a friend about how I was doing and how I have been and how we are still waiting for little Ben to arrive. As I wrote, I got to thinking ( and thinking out loud in my message to her) how this waiting on Ben is teaching me to trust in God and rest in His timing and plan. I wanted baby a whole week ago, but God didn't give him. I want him this week...maybe He won't yet. I'm learning to rest and not worry and just let it go and enjoy my waiting on Ben as I learn patience. If I complain and grumble as I wait, I won't be taking advantage of this time God has given me to learn to be content and thankful in Him in everything. Rather, I'd be wasting these great last days before Benjamin gets here. Baby Ben will be here soon, and I want to not be ashamed that I waited with a bad attitude, but with faith and patience and thankfulness. :)
I guess I needed to be reminded of this and therefor God has used this time. I thank Him for it!

ReplyDeleteWaiting is hard...don't I know it {a post I had written, as you, just over a year ago ~ http://smithseasonsoflife.blogspot.com/2011/08/waiting-on-lord.html }. I am praying for the Lord to calm your heart and rest in His PERFECT timing for little Ben to come. What a TREMENDOUS blessing to have your mother with you!
We just celebrated our youngest's birthday on Friday, our little (not so little) Carolyne. Time flies and maybe even I as I am commenting, maybe you are in labor with Benjamin soon to arrive. May the Lord give you the rest you need before you soon will hold this next precious gift in your arms. God bless to you and Isaac and Wade...soon, soon. :D
By His Grace,

Thank you for your encouraging comment! Some days I feel on the upside and content and others, I spiral down and struggle with waiting. I read your post :) It did encourage me very much! We're still waiting. Tonight I am unable to sleep. I know baby is close...I just have to keep trusting and waiting, knowing God has heard my prayers and he will answer His way.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for taking the time to write!
