I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone by. I guess it shouldn't surprise me either. Not long after I discovered I was pregnant Aaron applied for the job with the State Department. He interviewed for it right before Christmas, interviewed again right before New Years, then got the job offer January 8. The next few months was a whirlwind of finding a new home, getting our 1st home prepared to attempt to sell in Michigan (still working on that one), packing up, getting the kids prepared and excited, phone calls, internet searches, finding a preschool, etc. etc. All of a sudden it's May 21 and she'll be here in just a few short weeks.
I headed to the doctor today and am not quite 1 cm dialated. I'll take it...it's something. In 2 weeks I'll want to see a lot more progress! I also talked with the doc about inducing. I would love it if I could schedule so that someone from our family could be here with Max & Molly. I am really nervous about leaving the kids. I know that they would just be fine with one of our neighbors...they are just my Max & Molly. I keep thinking about how I felt when I was pregnant with Molly and how unfair I felt it was to bring another little person into his world. The kids seem very excited about her. They keep asking, "Can we let her out yet momma?" I tell them that she needs to gain a little more weight before we let her out. Max then asked, "How about 10 pounds?" I don't think so!!! I was think adding a few to 4 lbs. and call it good. I do often wonder what their 2 little minds think about this person inside of their momma? We shall soon find out.
We spent the morning at the doctor and then played bubbles outside. The pic is from this afternoon. I love it when Max shows just how much he loves his sister....b/c I just don't know how much longer that's going to last. Hopefully forever, but I'm sure that there will be a few years in between where they don't like each other so much. Somedays they really remind me of my brother and me. Just as long as they end up being as close as my brother and I are now I'll be ok with the in between stage.
A few prayers for tonight...
Lord, please be with my grandpa tomorrow as he starts his first round of radiation. Please let him feel how much you love him while he is getting his treatment and alone with his thoughts.
Please be with my dear friend as she sits and waits as patiently as she can on you and your plan for her. You are the true healer....please be with all of those who need to feel your love and arms. Amen.
