Mary & Me

Today is the day that I was hoping to get to before the baby came. It's our last scheduled event (Pilger family Christmas) of the season, and then we are just waiting. Waiting with eager anticipation...I almost feel like Mary. Here I am, with child, not knowing what to expect, with a husband named Joseph. The only difference is that I'm not a teenager, I'm certainly not a virgin, and I truly hope that I don't have to give birth in a barn. But if Mary can do it without an epidural, I think I can do it too!
