Hey Mary Beth! I hope you remember me, one of your Zeta Rho sisters. I came across yours and Casey’s blog by chance. What a small world! It sounds like you have had a little baby boy recently! Congrats! I recently had a baby girl, Emmersen, in July 2005. I say “recently” but I it’s been over a year now. They grow up so fast. They are definitely a joy to be around and I’m so happy for you both. I’m so glad you are doing well and I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on “expecting”. Being a mother is an amazing experience and I have to say that even expecting a baby is an experience that I will never forget and I thank God daily for the blessing of carrying a child. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts!

Sweetie,
God has given you so much talent. You are a wonderful daughter and mother. I’m so proud of you. Caleb is a very blessed little boy to have you for a mother.
love, mom

Life is filled with expectations. Some of these are invested
in our children and grandchildren. You have not dissapointed us, Mary Beth.

Thank you! This really will help me as I wait to have surgery.I expect a lot from it. The waiting is what is difficult now.

I can remember how anxious we both were before “the ultrasound” that would tell us we were having a boy. I can remember the anticipation about what he would look like, and whose looks he would have. I know that as impatient as I was to see Caleb’s face, you were a hundred times more impatient than me!

God has truly blessed our family! I thought of this verse while reading your post:

Psalm 130:5 & 6

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.

My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
