Expecting: Celebrating the Waiting and the Wonder Book

The ultimate wait-training. First you wait for your body to kick-in so people stop asking, "Have you put on a little weight?" then you wonder if you'll ever sleep through the night without having to visit the bathroom on the quarter-hour. From coveting anything covered with duckies and bunnies, to feeling panic at the realization there is no way out other than pain, pregnancy is full of waiting and wonder. But you're not in it alone. It's a community project, as the entire world offers advice-from strangers in the checkout lane to your boss. Yet, when you feel that first flutter that is too delicate for even your husband to share, you know that your experience is beyond intimate. It involves your very soul, as God reveals to you his mighty miracle. Enjoy the celebration.
