I should be holding a precious baby boy in my arms. Others might have to beg for a turn to hold him because I'm just so darn excited to feel him in my grasp! Okay, okay....I'll share! :)
Yesterday was our very last prenatal doctor's appointment. We're certainly ready to be done making the drives to and from Celebration so often, but we've just been INCREDIBLY pleased with our experience there that we know it was so worthwhile. They constantly treat us so well and take good care of us. Yesterday the doctor had gotten called to do a delivery, but even though our appointment was already the last time of the day, he came back afterwards to meet with us. We went and grabbed a bite while we were waiting but thought it was awfully nice of him to come back at 5:30 rather than just call it a day and make us reschedule.
The appointment went fine. No dilating yet, but I have thinned out. He said I could possibly go into labor earlier, but probably a slim chance. It seems to me that things are starting to get awfully close. My blood pressure is creeping to the higher side and the swelling continues. I honestly don't know where there is room for any more fluid in this body of mine! I have a feeling nothing will happen before next Wednesday, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I know the power of prayer is just amazing....after all I think it had a lot to do with getting us to this point! :) So, I ask for prayers for my mom. I hope that she won't mind me sharing, but has not been feeling well and was diagnosed with shingles earlier this week. Luckily it sounds like hers is a pretty mild case, but still can be so painful nonetheless. The worst part of it all is the timing obviously. Her and my dad were expecting to leave to head here this weekend so they could be present for his birth. Obviously if she's still contagious or in a lot of pain though, that won't be able to happen. It's very saddening for my parents and I both, but we're trying to remain optimistic. The most important thing is that she is healthy and the baby is healthy and as long as that happens, we know it will all be okay. It doesn't necessarily make the emotions or worrying much easier though, so I ask you to lift her up in prayer that her body would be quickly healed. We're praying that not only do we have a healthy baby in our arms in one week, but a healthy grandma as well!

Okay, you've done it...I am teary eyed. Thanks, dear daughter, for the requested prayers. I do feel better today and remain hopeful. I am thankful that the shingles made their appearance this past weekend instead of later. That would have been just horrible if I had exposed the baby to this! Now, I get time to heal and hopefully be ready for our grandson. As always, we don't understand the "why's", but I do know that God is faithful. Thank you to all you may read this and pray for this situation.
Love, Mom/Gma :)
I'm teary too. SURPRISE! Get well Mom!
Not only to have him in your grasp, but when he grasps your finger and you can just look at him and he's here, he's yours, and he's healthy! I can't wait to see the glow of happiness! KW
