There are SO many babies coming into the world right now, at least among my circle of friends (IRL and otherwise).  One of these friends, Em @ Primitive Roads, is a blogging friend who is such an insightful writer who writes about marriage, motherhood, and ministry (her husband is a youth pastor in Coeur d’Alene).

She and her husband Tim had a baby boy last week and in preparation for his arrival, she asked if anyone in our blogging group wanted to write a guest post so she could keep her blog going during these first few weeks of Baby James’ life.  I happily said I would…below is a teaser…

Lord, we first want to thank you and praise You for little James Atticus! Thank you for giving his mama the strength to bring him safely into this world and for blessing his daddy to be just the right encourager for the delivery.

We also lift up James’ continual growth and development in this fourth trimester, the first 12 weeks of life during which so much adjustment takes place.

P.S. I was honored to get to throw a baby shower in December for one of my best friends.  As a favor, I made a set of bookmarks for all the attendees to take home with prayers for the new mom and dad as well as baby.  Stay tuned for a post detailing how to do this on your own (or order them from my Etsy shop!).
