I took this photo of our son four days before he was born.
There he is– sleeping with his bottom in the air.
Funny enough, this undignified position is still his preferred sleeping posture today. 
On a related note, at the time this first picture was taken I had a gospel-grounded and inspiring conversation with Pastor Sam Crabtree about what a bloated-sore-anxious mess I was.
Upon recalling that conversation with him I was reminded that I wanted to write a recommendation for his book, so I wrote one here.
If you want to learn how to encourage people with God-centered affirmations then Pastor Sam’s book is the best resource I can point you to. Even if the person you’re trying to encourage is convinced they’ll be pregnant for-e-ver and can hardly see her shoes much less see the saving mercy of God as he daily bears us up.
Psalm 68:19 “Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation.”
