Smithler: A Work in Progress

Time and time again, we are overwhelmed with the generosity of so many people, here and in the states. This weekend Baby Smith and I attended our first (and only) baby shower. As we have mentioned before, there are quite a few of us in the city who are expecting in the next few months, so to make things easier, we had a joint shower with a great friend who is due three weeks after me. Both of us are so grateful for the outpouring of love (and cute baby stuff!) that we received. In the not too distant past, seeing all of these pink clothes and diapers was a little overwhelming, but now it's just plain exciting. Only three weeks 'til the due date and I am feeling pretty well. There are moments when I think she can't get any bigger, but besides that, I have nothing to complain about. Even with all of the anxieties and insecurities about having a baby, we are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with this gift of life. We look forward to the journey that she will undoubtedly take us on and how much we will learn about ourselves, our God and His love for His children.
