I’m up and ready to run some errands this morning. I’ve had a few contractions but nothing too impressive. I’m going to Wal-Mart and a few other stops and hopefully I won’t have to have a baby at the post-office or any other strange location. Honestly, I’m not too worried about it, but hope that continued activity will bring Aron to us soon.
Ivan is sleeping in this morning. He was restless last night and I think needs a little extra time in bed, so I haven’t stirred him yet. Sleepy little boys are the sweetest thing.
I’m going to get pacifiers this morning and I have the car seat cover all washed and hanging to dry, I still need to wash my pump and get a few bottle things together, but I’m not concerned about giving him a bottle for a little while yet. I have the pack-n-play all set up in our bedroom with a little outfit and diapers waiting. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas.
I know this gets redundant to read but it’s pretty much the main focus in our household at the moment. I’m a little sad about the timing because we are having a dinner next week at church that Kris and I were invited to and John Hagee is our guest speaker. He will also be speaking Wednesday night the 19th, for everyone, but this dinner was a little bit more intimate and I was hoping that I could go. At this point, I don’t think I’ll be out of the house yet, so I’ll probably have to just let Kris go without me. Not that I’ve ever been this huge John Hagee fan, but I know he’s a good minister and I know that it’s an opportunity that is rare enough that I should take advantage of it if I can…but I wouldn’t risk too much to do that. All that is assuming I’ll have the baby before then. I could go late and have a 13 pound baby but still get to hear John Hagee. I’d rather miss the dinner.
I hear my Ivan now, so I’d better go get him some breakfast. Have a great day and keep praying for us! It makes a difference. Even if I don’t have a baby today, your prayers help my attitude each morning.
Um, yeah, I think I’d skip John Hagee in favor of a not 13 pound baby!
Come on, Aron! You can do it! Mommy wants to meet you!
There you go. A little pep talk for the little guy.
Prayers are included!
Praying.
(insert whatever general encouragement works best for you here)
I’m not finding your posting redundant at all! I remember the wait too – it’s terrible and consuming….and I certainly don’t want a 13 pound baby to happen to you! So, I’m rooting for any minute now!
I’m going to Boston this weekend, so wait a few more days until I get back before welcoming Aron 🙂 Just kidding! Tell the little sucker to get a move on it and come out already!!!
