What I Dream for My Baby

Throughout this pregnancy, I've done a lot of dreaming.

In the beginning, I just wanted a healthy baby. Each day fulfilled that dream as I woke up and realized that, yes, I really am pregnant.

Then the dreams got weird. I heard about the hormones causing some odd nighttime visions. I just didn't anticipate a plot including dolphins, goldfish crackers, and a hippy John Cleese.

As I near the end of my pregnancy, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing my baby girl for the first time, still dreaming of a healthy pregnancy (no early arrivals please), and wondering how Peter and my life is going to change.

Most of all, I have 3 dreams for Baby Abby:

1) I dream that she will know God the way that I have come to know Him, and so much more!
2) I dream that she will find joy, purpose, and confidence in her life.
3) I dream that she will always know she can turn to her family for security, encouragement, and love.

I'm excited about being a mommy, about helping my baby find these dreams. I know I have a lot to learn, and I'm looking forward to it.
