Only 16 more days, or less??

It is really hard to believe that we are only 16 days away from our due date! After the little scare we had in the hospital over a month ago, I just Praise God that everything has worked out so good this far! Our God is an Awesome God!

You might think that with just over 2 weeks until Baby Girl arrives, I might be a little more prepared. Hmm...not quite. The crib mattress is still balancing on end in the crib - to keep the cats out of it. I am just now washing the mattress pad and sheets and *maybe* I'll get around to making the crib this weekend. All the 0-3 month clothes are washed and in bags waiting to be organized into the dresser that my gracious Aunt is bringing over to us on Monday. And really - if she decided to come tomorrow, we would be more than okay. She won't care if the crib bumper isn't in place, or the window valance put up. So I'm not worrying about having everything perfect. It surprises me that I'm content with not having everything organized. Must be the hormones or something.

Ash Wednesday is coming up next week - and I've been thinking about what I would like to change/improve/sacrifice during those following 46 days. When I'm not working, sleeping, eating or staring out the window, I have been spending quite a bit of time reading. And the books I have been choosing to read, are not the most spiritually fulfilling. As entertaining as murder mysteries are, they aren't really filling my head and heart with good things. One of the things I plan on doing, is replacing my murder mysteries with the study of God's Mysteries. What better place to learn about His mysteries, than in searching for what is revealed in the Bible. I would like to read the whole Bible eventually, and maybe I can work through a large portion this Lent.

Baby Progress

We did have a doctor appointment on Thursday. And we seem to be progressing...
In 1 week, we went from <1cm dilated, to maybe a 1 1/2 cm dilated (but the first check was from a different doctor, so we may not have changed much at all)

Wouldn't it be ironic if she was late!
