Waiting Game

Everything seems to be back to a somewhat normal pace at the house. I am now packing Chris's lunches, ironing his work clothes, and preparing supper in the evenings again. Most people would get tired of that, but I missed Chris so much and I love him so much that I will do anything to help him. I really enjoy doing things for him because I love him so much.

The kids seem to be very happy that Chris is home again. He gets attacked when he comes through the front door after work. Evan runs around the house screaming Daddy and Alana runs outside to meet him the car so she can ride a few feet up the drivway with him. It is very cute.

Our third, Owen, is due ay time. The actual due date isn't until October 28, but I started having contractions yesterday and they have nw put me on medication to stop them so I won't have him yet. They want me to wait until I am at least 37 weeks, which will be October 7. That is when the lungs are considered mature enough for the baby to be born. Of course, I am already 2 cm and so I am not sure how long labor can be held off.

Tomorrow is the baby shower and I am so excited. We really don't need much since he is the third. I am excited because I love to get together and have fun with my family and friends and also play the fun baby shower games. And of course the most important part is the cake and punch. :) My favorites!

I am so excited and ready to have Owen. I know I am probably about to drive Chris crazy, but I am exhausted and ready to have this baby. I just feel so weak and tired, which isn't me at all. I am trying to stay strong, but I know he is so tired of hearing me whine. He is such a trooper for putting up with it! I know he gets it from everyone since he is becoming a chaplain and all. I am trying my best to get better at it, especially for his sake. I need to be the one to help keep him strong.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you all for the many prayers. Love you all!
