It is so funny how much can change in a week.
Last week 30 days seemed so long and far away, and now 23 days is just not enough time! I went to the dr. yesterday for my 36wk check up; I am fully engaged and dialated to a 3. Still only 30% effaced, but that can change quickly. Pretty much the dr. said all we're waiting on is more organized contractions. Last week I would have been jumping up and down. This week I am kinda wanting to wait it out. So you ask, why the mellow mood. 2 words...Hurricane Ike.
My house took a treetrop to one corner causing enough damage that it is non livable until it can be remodeled on that end. Thankfully i have the most wonderful family and inlaws with an empty upstairs. My kids think this is kinda cool, and we have been spoiled non stop. but there is still nothing like home. I think Caylie has decided that Mimi is her new mom, she's always been partial to her anyways, and now she demands mimi's help and not mine most of the time. I am thankful we were not in the house when the damage occurred and no one i know has been hurt. We are going to be able to replace some much needed things inside the house, so this is a blessing in disguise i am sure; and one more way for us to have faith that God's timing is always the best timing even if we don't see it or understand. Cause, i know i have been nesting lately, but remodeling a 3rd of my house in the last 25 days of being preggers was not on my list! :):)

oh my gosh I'm so sorry! We are going on day eight of no power. at least it's been cool. I pray that your house gets remodeled ASAP before baby comes. Do you have any names picked out??
Jessica are you doing ok? This is such a stresser for everyone but being about to give birth makes it even more so. And then add on not being in your own home....Is anyone working on your house yet? We still don't have power but I heard some of Imperial Oaks does. And the light on Rayford and Imperial Oaks is now on too! Let me know if you need anything and ask your mom to call me when you have your baby!!
Have you had your baby yet??????
I've been thinking about you a lot!!! How are you?
I will be praying for you on having a natural birth. I totally understand the personal goal because I really would like to accomplish that at least once. Just remembering how I felt toward the end I can see why you are nervous about it because you are so tired and just ready to have all of it be over. If anyone can do it you can, I told my mom today that you are an extremely strong person (from what I have seen) so just stay strong and think about the long term pain of the epidural. Ha I STILL have issues that I think I'm going to need to talk to my Dr. about. I cannot wait to see your precious son and thanks for keeping us updated. I am praying for the situation with your house also. Take care of yourself and if you ever need a break I'm right down the street!! Addyson would love some playmates
