Thumbing through...found this post that is 1.5 years old

Sometimes we need to remember how it felt...
Posted this on October 1st, the night before I had Savannah..
All still holds true!!!!

Twas the night before Thursday
Twas the night before Thursday and all through our house,
not a child was stirring, not even my spouse!
With a basket of laundry clean and folded with care,
We are anxious to have a new baby living here!

I start with my rounds, for each child I pray.
Starting with Corbin, so much I want to say.
I pray for his salvation, his strength and his health.
I pray he knows his family is truly his wealth!

I pick him up as he stirs while I am there.
Then I kiss his sweet cheek and cuddle him with a tear.
My surprise of surprises, that is his sweet place in life.
I lay him down and lastly pray for his future wife.

Off to my oldest, my first baby to bring home.
She lays in her bed and is out like a light.
I kneel down beside her and am in awe of her sight.
Just 5 short years ago, this was her big night!

My request to Him is for her to continue to grow.
To look for His guidance and take life slow.
I lean over to kiss her and tuck her in snug.
I look at her and say, "I love you bug!"

My last stop is the busiest room in this home!
My sweet little girls, they just play in there and roam.
I first see my Laurel, she slightly opens her eyes.
I tell her to close them, and she does as she sighs.

For her I pray she accepts the Lord.
That she uses his word like a shield and a sword.
I ask the He continues to make her so sweet.
And I ask that she gives up her obsession of something always on her feet!

I scoot over to the other pink bed against the wall.
I have so many prayers too night, but non too tall!
My little Anabelle, I pray for her safety.
I pray that she is always close to me.

I pray she asks Him into her heart.
And I pray that her relationship with her siblings, will never part.
With her old pink silky, I tuck her in tight.
I kiss them both and whisper good night.

As I sit down and rest, I think of the years that have passed.
I think of the tears and the fears that no longer last.
We were fearful to have no children in our house.
And now we are blessed beyond belief, me and my spouse!

So I anxious type while I lay in my bed.
I just pray for a healthy baby, I promise to love and keep fed!
I know the Lord will watch over us all.
He will not ever let us crash and fall.

He has a plan for my family, this I know.
He doesn't have to do much for it to show.
I know tomorrow will have so much joy.
We will add to the 3 little girls and 1 sweet boy!

So, now I head off to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
I pray he watches through the night.
And I pray he keeps me safe in tomorrows light.
