I am on a path of enlightenment
No really, I am!
I am six months pregnant now with our little Elizabeth (**Name Pending....I'll tell ya later) and I am learning exactly what I am meant to prepare for during this time of her development. I love this stage of pregnancy. Feeling her sweet kicks in the middle of the night, watching daddy's face as he with his hand on my belly feels his daughter inside...moving, stretching, and playing.
I love being just big enough so that a stranger can tell I am pregnant, but not so pregnant that I cannot move or find comfort.
As seen below.....
Ouch.
I even like it when people reach out and touch my belly:)

I am very calm. I have no fears as of yet about our ability as parents. I haven't quite reached a stage of anxiety over raising her or teaching her.
I know that if I were to take a "Perfect Parent Candidate" test, I would fail.
But if ya think about it, wouldn't you fail too? Is anyone really prepared to face the responsibilities that come with nurturing and raising a child? I don't think so.
I think that is why being human is so wonderful. We are all capable of becoming anything that we set our minds to, even capable of becoming wonderful parents. But I don't think that we would be all that great if we relied solely on our own experiences and talent as blueprints of success. That is why I am grateful for all of the wonderful examples in my life of great parenting techniques.
Isn't it great to watch people go before you and mess up so that you know what to avoid later on?
I have learned about parenting through my own family and friends and neighbors. I want to set a tone of reverence and peace in our home and I think that I have learned a little bit about how to do that through the examples of many of you who are reading this.
So if our children turn out to be totally awesome one day, pat yourself on the back and celebrate with an ice cream cone...because you did a good job helping:)
