Deserving an Update

You all have quickly become an encouragement and our prayer team.  I thought you deserved an update, so here goes!  :)

Still planning on an update about our meeting with J and her mom.  I sit down to do it and then get sidetracked.

Also, planning on an update about how God has brought this all together.  I have it written in my head.  Just need to get it on paper, well, the blog.

I debated about this for a while, but in the end, I got a pay-as-you-go phone, allowing J to have a phone number where she can reach us and contact us.  It makes me less stressed, knowing that she can let us know if something is happening.  We have been texting back and forth and it's been a blessing.

While meeting with her and her mom, she asked me if I would go to an appointment with her.  I said yes!  So, this Thursday, Dave and I are going with her to her weekly appointment.  She's super excited about us going with her, and that brings me even more peace, knowing that she wants us there.

She calls us his parents and calls him "your little man".  She even asked "Daddy", what she calls Dave, to cut "his son's" (again, her words) cord.  We'll see if he gets up the nerve to do that.

We took some things over to her today, now that she's moved into a rental house.  She's been having a pain in her side and is so ready to not be pregnant.  She's dropped A LOT since we saw her last and wow, N is getting huge.  She was having contractions the entire time we were there and one even brought her to tears.  He might be here before we know it.

His official c-section date is the 18th, so I changed the bottom ticker to reflect that.  She said that they might change it when we go in on Thursday, but for now, we'll go with the 18th.

We have plans to do something special with her, her mom, and her kids this weekend.  Looking foward to spending time with them.

Okay, I think that's a pretty decent update.  Off to bed!  :)

I am happy she already refers to him as "yours" and acknowledges you both as the parents. I'm sure that brings some peace that you prayed for. Can't wait to see pics of your son:)

This has been such a blessing to read. I feel like I am sharing your struggles and most of all joy. God is such an awesome God. Your little boy will be so blessed, and you will be blessed by him more than you ever thought possible. Children really are a gift.
