<\/p>\n“From the fulness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another…” John 1:16<\/p>\n
This was the part of my Bible reading this morning that really struck me today. I am so grateful for all God’s grace…for example…<\/p>\n
1. Today Eric drives up to get our new van. As far as we know, the details are in order and it just has to be done. I still can’t believe that by the end of the day, we will own a new (to us) Toyota Sienna. I’m really excited. <\/p>\n
2. I had my 38 week appointment yesterday. All is well. Definitely making progress. My “cervix of steel” (yes, medical personnel have called it that) has finally started to soften and efface. So we might actually get to have a baby without surgery in the next week or ten days. Very excited about that!<\/p>\n
3. My doctor is totally supportive of trying to avoid a c-section. No pressure. Totally willing to wait until 41 weeks to do surgery to give her every chance of coming on her own. It’s just so nice because a lot of doctors would already be pushing to schedule a section, just in case. It’s such a relief for me!<\/p>\n
4. I’ve actually gotten a ton of work done around the house for NLS’s arrival. Her room is inching ever closer to being ready, and I did a lot of sorting, organizing and laundry yesterday. Still have some to do, of course, but if she decided to come tomorrow (today is the only day she’s been told she can’t<\/em> come…as Eric will be in MI!), we’d be good. <\/p>\n And that’s just a sampling (and the big stuff). I’m sure there’s more I could put on my list. But that’s a good start. <\/p>\n Happy Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “From the fulness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another…” John 1:16 This was the part of my Bible reading this morning that really struck me today.
