The Musings of Michelle

Here is my attempt to not let those little precious moments go unforgotten...

As I reflect back on my life so far I have realized that I'm really just an average girl, with an average life, living with an average disease. But what I do have is an AMAZING God who continues to blow me away with His love and His grace in my life. This is my attempt at putting into writing my journey so far.

Just thought i'd blog real quick since i haven't in a while. It's been a crazy week or so. Caleb has definitely been playing mind games with us. With Hannah I went into labor and stayed in labor for a long time, but she eventually came. Caleb is taking a little more time. Things will seem to start happening and then a few hours later nothing. We've had about 2 or 3 false alarms. The scariest one was when we decided to take a chance and go up to my brother's wedding this past weekend in Akron, OH which is 6 hrs away (well 7 1/2 if you have to stop every hour to stretch). We weren't going to go at first because I had progressed a lot more than i thought i would have at my last appt, but i was feeling fine and i knew i would be so mad if Saturday came and no baby. So we packed up on Friday and headed up. The wedding was so beautiful and everything went so smoothly. And Hannah did so great as the flower girl. She didn't throw any petals on the ground, but at least she made it down the aisle. And Meredith was a beautiful bride like i knew she would be and Joe was so handsome. I can't believe my little brother is married! And i am very jealous that he is in the carribean basking in the sun. I was pretty uncomfortable most of Saturday, but i was feeling better when we left. but then i started having contractions on the way home. ryan was freaking out poor guy. we were going to stay in cincinnati that night, but we decided to chance it all the way back to lexington. the contractions were far enough apart that i knew we had time. so ryan made it back in like 5 hours and by that point it was 3am. I was exhausted and kind of hoped that we could get some sleep befor having to go into the hospital, but I guess Caleb decided we needed even more rest and the contractions stopped all together. So today I sit blogging with no baby yet. I'm not due until Sunday, but he's teased us so much, that i'm ready for him to come now! As Ryan said, having a baby is like the return of Christ. No one knows the day or the hour.

Sounds like lots of fun is being had in San Diego. That ball things looks so fun. And it's good to hear about the Alaskan adventures.

welp i hear ryan coming in the door. gotta get dinner ready.

peace!
