Well, we are now 6 days away from our scheduled delivery date and we are officially carrying this baby the longest I have ever carried a baby!
Yesterday's appointment went very well...we grew another inch (although I don't know how that is possible) and my blood pressure was still within normal ranges though we are at the high end of 136/70. The Dr. decided that we didn't have to come back for the pre op appointment that we could just take care of things yesterday or the day of the delivery...so now we just have to wait for the days to pass!
And it looks like things are all going to work out just in time...our van which has been in getting fixed from the deer accident we had back at Christmas is done and ready to be picked up...I am SO very thankful for that...now we won't have to have the seats all crammed into the back of the Jeep...we had previously put them all in just in case...I wanted to make sure that they would actually all fit!
AND Karla (Marion's brother Mark's wife) has had her surgery and though she says it is very painful, she is recovering so that is a huge blessing as well...I am sure she wouldn't mind any prayers sent her way though! She didn't know when they were talking release from the hospital yet because it was still so early after the surgery but I am glad that the Pancreatitis has subsided and that she could have the Gallbladder surgery.
It has been very nice to have Marion around more as the winter months here are alot slower for him. He is thinking he likes the winter baby idea more then the summer or fall babies we have had previously because he feels more apart of things and like he can enjoy the arrival a bit more maybe without having to rush off to do harvest or field work or something like that. We've been talking that now all we need is a spring baby and we'll have every season!
Well that is all that I can think of at the moment...Abi and Nate keep asking when the baby will arrive after Christmas (that is what Marion kept telling them...after Christmas). Today we were talking to Abi about the baby coming and she is convinced it will be a boy but she said it would be okay if we were wrong and had a girl! She still claims to have five babies in her tummy that need to come out as well...she will even move her tummy and say the babies are kicking...it is really quite funny!
