Life is about to change...

That's what everyone keeps telling us, and I'm starting to believe it. With just one more week until my due date, it's really starting to hit me and Brandon both that our lives will never be the same. But we know the change will be good. God has already used our pregnancy to bring us closer to each other and to Him. We are confident that welcoming Kaden into our home will only serve to make us more holy and learn to lean on God even more.

A lot of questions are running through my mind. Will Kaden wait until Brandon's last summer class is over? Do have what it takes to actually birth a child. Even though being 9 months pregnant isn't the most comfortable thing, there are days when I'd rather just stay pregnant forever than go through labor. Beyond childbirth, are Brandon and I diligent enough to raise a child that honors God? Really the answer to these questions is no. We don't have what it takes. At church, we have been learning about living with faith instead of fear; not looking at things through the flesh. God is faithfully teaching us more and more that it is not on our own strength and power that we succeed, but on His alone.

Practically though, we are all ready for Kaden to join us at home. His room is set up, diapers are stocked and he even has a library almost as big as his dad's! Here are a few pictures of what we've done so far...
