We are expecting this little baby any day now! Our due date is Oct. 4th, but for some reason I feel that this little one is content where they are at, so we have an induction scheduled for Oct. 6th. I am really hoping that this little one would come before then so I don't have to be induced, but only time will tell.
I am officially on "maternity leave". I had my last day of work last week and I don't plan on looking for anything until after the move. Yes, that's right, we're moving. If everything goes according to our plans, we will be moving to Bismarck, ND about a week after the baby is born! I would say I'm a little stressed, but in the 6 years Jim and I have been married we have never done anything without a little stress. It keeps us grounded...in faith that is. I have to trust that God is in control and we are just along for the ride.
This weekend has been very emotional for me. Yesterday, Oct. 1st, is a date that will always bring a few tears to my eyes. Two years ago on Oct. 1st, Jim and I had our 20 week ultrasound of our first baby, Abigail. I think all of you know what happened on that day. That day we found out that we wouldn't get to keep her. We found out that there were several medical things wrong, and that she would likely pass before she was full term. That day I had to give up my hopes and dreams for our first child, and I had to let God take control.
I can't believe that 2 years later I am sitting here starting this blog, with a baby wiggling around in my tummy. This little one lets me know what's important in life. God has provided Jim and I an amazing gift and something very positive to focus on during a time in our life that is filled with less than wonderful memories.
I will try and keep you posted on our new baby and our move. We are very excited to see what God has in store for us in ND!
