Aug. 19, 2008 - Quick update, again

In keeping with our family's summer theme of "God is totally in control and we are thoroughly aware of it"  we were told yesterday that our new little one may be making his appearance sooner than expected.  I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and I am measuring 39 weeks, so he's still growing well :)  He's also at -2 and I am 3cm and 50%. So I am going to take it easy for the next two weeks (until I hit 37 weeks) and then I can go jogging :) 

We are praying that he will stay put until then so his lungs can mature fully and since I have dear friends who are giving me baby showers the end of next week. I'd like to be there :)  God's timing is not ours, so I will take what He gives.

We "officially" started school yesterday, more for my oldest son's benefit than anything.  It went fairly well, although the younger ones are only doing a few things.  And I am Commanding from the couch :) 

We talked this morning at devotions about the Season's of life and how we don't need to wish away the one we are in because it's chaotic or difficult.  We need to enjoy the times we have because they will pass away quickly and another will come to take it's place.  The times of trying are the times when we learn and grow the most.   Ecclesiates 7:3 says " Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better."  

We don't have to spend our lives looking sour to be holy, but we don't have to hate the tough times that come either.

Until later (maybe with new baby at home?)

Hi,
I just read your blog and was checking to see how you are doing. I have a 19 year old and a 9 year old, so its been a while since I have been pregnant, but I sure miss those days! I love those sweet baby smells and how precious they are when they are first born. My prayers are with you.
