Katie, almost 4 years ago I gave birth to my little Stephen on Dec. 29th. I, like you, was profoundly moved by the experience of being at the end of pregnancy during Christmas season. I am often asked about my son getting cheated out of a “real” birthday separate from Christmas celebrations….but I don’t think that’s the case at all–in fact it is a privilege!! He (at the tender age of almost 4) and I really identify with the Christmas story in a unique way. Many blessings to you as you near the end. –Sara

Great post, Katie. We are also expecting our first little one just after Christmas. It’s such a gift to be able to experience the birth of Christ along with the birth of our babe. Like you, I intend to bind myself ever closer to Our Lady during this Advent Season and together we will wait in joyful hope!

Katie,
What a beautiful post…this is helping me not too be anxious awaiting the arrival of our kids. We have practical issues to deal with but they will work themselves out. It is the state of my soul and heart that are important and keeping Mary foremost as my example will give our children so much more than the creature comforts. I am so happy for you and Devin and the example of love you are. Praying for little Edmund and all of you!
