And with every new baby, I try to gather a few things that are special and new just for them. As I prepare for my December 27 due date, here are a few things I'm setting aside: a silk-and-wool infant cap from Nova Natural. It's dreamily soft and finely made. A thrift-store find of a never-used cotton velour sweater in soft green. Also from Nova Natural: a spiral crystal rainbow maker. Hang one of these in the bedroom window and your baby will have rainbows to play with! (I actually was so enchanted with this one that I gave it as a present to my godbaby, Chelsea Anne, this past weekend.) And lastly, I'm working on making a baby quilt out of small squares of Liberty of London fabric I found on ebay. Unusual for me, I'm sewing this by hand, since these days I find myself with more waiting-around time than sewing machine time. I think the peacefulness of the handwork is just what I need right now...

Oh, how wonderful to be preparing for a new little life during this special time of year! Praying for a safe delivery for you and baby...
I have experienced the same. With my first two babies (girls) I had a ready eye for all the "milestones." The next three (all boys) have been much more enjoyed---the milestones were almost disappointing because it meant they were growing up and leaving behind the sleepy baby days. I am again expecting (due in June) and I find I am learning to appreciate the entire process without the "I can't wait until..." syndrome. I wish I would have felt this way with the first babies, but then I guess this is something only taught by experience. God bless you during this last month.
Lots of prayers sent your way!
