The Fourth Time Around

One would think that pregnancy the fourth time around would be old news. But, really, it's still amazing. Still amazing that this huge belly, with all its associated discomforts,
will soon give way to a precious baby. Still amazing to feel hiccups or a tiny foot in my ribs (where it has been most of the day). Still amazing that the God of the universe is knitting together new life, our Sierra Grace, inside of me.

Psalm 139:13-16
¹³For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
