Keeping busy

The last couple of weeks I've purposefully kept myself busy so that the last month of the pregnancy wouldn't draaaaaag by. We've been baking gingerbread, getting the baby room ready, our bedroom (where I'm planning to give birth), getting my dad's room ready as he'll be living with us for a few months, getting ahead with school, baking and freezing goodies to feed to my family while I'm out of it for a while, and various other things. Needless to say I've been rather task-oriented and have been convicted of being a "Martha" not a "Mary" lately. I'm praying that the Lord would help me to set my priorities straight and put Him first everyday and acknowledge and worship Him throughout the tasks that need to get done in a day.
The last couple days I've had contractions non-stop. They haven't been painful or regular but they're there.....maybe we'll see some action soon. I do hope so but more than anything I want God's perfect timing. Kyle's getting more excited/nervous as the days go by and it's so fun to watch him. If you know him you know he's not the guy to show a lot of excitement/emotion so this has been neat. The boys can't wait either. Whenever I say "ouch" or something like that (usually due to ligament pain) Titus goes "Labor pain???!!??" and then he's disappointed when I say "No, just muscles stretching, getting ready." Timmy is constantly saying "Will the baby be here on Christmas? After Christmas? On Titus birthday? My birthday?" and i just say "I don't know when God is finished with it." Such a fun time. Timmy's understanding more and putting more together. We've been reading his little Bible to him and he's often randomly saying "Jesus died for my sins" or "His blood cleans my sins away" it's so precious - what a blessing to be home with them and get to spend time with them. What a joy it is to be a mom and have a husband who provides and works hard so that I can be home.
I pray you all have a blessed Christmas reflecting on our Savior's birth - without whom we would not have hope.
