So the days had come for her to give birth to her sixth child . . . OK, so a mild paraphrase of the gospels. The truth remains, I am expecting to have Gabriel on Wednesday-3 days from now! Gabriel has been squirming around in his confined quarters, anxiously awaiting freedom I'm sure. I will enjoy having space to bend over as well, though we have started a great new habit around the Wragg home of Mommy pointing to things that CHILDREN can pick up!
I am trying so hard to enjoy these last 3 days of being pregnant, the kicks, the squirms, the intense pressure at times. Gabriel will be our official last baby. Marc has plans this month that I'm not allowed to talk about but you all know what I am talking about! Pregnancy has always gone pretty well for me. I don't feel sick longer than the first 3 months and my deliveries have all been pretty similar: 7-8 hours induced. I am content now to know he is the last, I wasn't ready when any of the others were born, but I am now. 6 kids is a lot of work and a lot of blessing, to be sure! It is also a LOT of fun to have 3 girls and 3 boys in an every other pattern. God has abundantly blessed Marc and I above all we could ask or imagine. We did not know when we first married and talked about having kids how it would all go. And here we are, at the end of the pregnancy stage of life, ready to move on to more parenting, teaching, discipling and loving!
