Here we are. Still nothing. Oh, except for that long night of contractions last night!! Started during church yesterday and went to about 2am. Yeah- that was fun. Good thing these start out slow because how are you really supposed to relax through pulsating pain I ask?? Visited Dr. D today and no change in the nether regions. However, I will not be discouraged. Yesterday was our calendar due date and according to her measurements it is 10/25. With Molly I didn’t even have contractions at this point so I do feel encouraged. It gave me an opportunity to make sure all was packed that I was going to need. Please pray for me though…I really want to persevere through the pain and I am a bit nervous. As far as the waiting game?? I have found comfort in Psalms – love those guys! Here is one for you Ps 27:14- Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! He has Lucy’s birthday already worked out and this is where I get to put into practice being patience and gracious. I am walking regularly and am loving our Y membership for that right now. The girls can play their little hearts out and I can walk, and walk, and walk, and then walk some more!
On another note, I got to take Molly & Katie to an Indian Festival this past Friday with the help of the ole in-laws! You know- these are great people- treading in all that…poop and all. Lot’s of horse stuff around and they were such troopers
. Molly and Katie got to ride the hohos (horse for Katie) and feed multiple animals in the, compact as it was, feeding/petting zoo. We saw some native dancing and singing and smelled some other funky stuff too – I’m going to stay convinced it was white sage and not what the ole Grandpa was suggesting
. Molly got to shoot her first bow and arrow and actually hit the hay bales twice- I was so proud! I will get some pics posted soon I hope. Goal was to walk, walk, and more walk and we did do that. Overall was a fun, dusty day since it is staying nice here now during the day in the high 70s.
