Did you ever pray for something while completely believing it wouldn't really happen? Yeah, I'm guilty, but wow is it a lovely surprise! After my dear dear friend Noelle gave birth to her beautiful baby girl Hazel, I prayed that God would make a way for me to go visit. A week or so later, I find out that a generous and super kind person wanted to fly me down to see them in South Carolina. I was shocked, which showed my lack of faith, and extremely grateful. It was such a sweet little break to be around my friend during this precious new season of life.
Having a little one fall asleep on my shoulder definitely woke up all the little "mommy desires" inside that hadn't been already. I can't believe how quickly I'm going to have a sweet bundle to cuddle.
I almost forgot that visiting the Peters meant seeing my darling little rat friend, Cranford, again. I loved how he would peak out from under my big belly when I held him in my lap.
Wool socks, fire blazing, Cranford nibbling sunflower seeds in the background, Hazel snoozing in her bouncer, and Noelle and I watching a TV series about British midwives in the 1950s while sipping tea. It was a lovely time.
We explored the funky city of Asheville while Hazel snoozed in her moby wrap.
We took some walks and enjoyed the lingering fall foliage.
It was a delightful visit and I feel oh so blessed and thankful. Now I feel even more ready to welcome my son into the world. I can't wait!
