Well, my due date was May 9th and today is May 11th…I’m still pregnant!!  So, what does one do on the day that their baby is suppose to come into this world.  Here is what I did.  Paul and I walked to Uncle Harry’s for a late breakfast and that started some pretty strong contractions which was exciting.  Then, we had a lazy afternoon complete with a nap.  When I woke up around 4pm I started having more contractions that continued throughout the evening as we went to church and ate dinner.  We went for walk after dinner and decided that the contractions were close enough together and continuous enough that we should go it.  So, we headed to the hospital with high hopes.  When we got there they checked us in, but after checking and monitoring me they decided to send me home.  I was only dialated to 1cm, so they said I was just in early labor.  AARRRRGGGG!!!!  

Since then we’ve been trying to keep busy and not think about it.  On mother’s day we drove up and spent the evening with Paul’s parents.  It was fun to be with both Mom’s, not something I always get.  This morning we took a long walk and then drove up to Shaver Lake.  I loved getting to sit on the dock and put my feet in the water.  It was good medicine for me.  

I’ve been trying to trust in God’s timing, but it’s getting very difficult and my parents time here gets shorter and shorter.  My Mom snapped this picture and captioned it well so I will just leave it at that.

 

He leads me beside still waters…
