It seems that the garden isn't the only thing growing these days...
My belly continues to grow and swell with the babe within, as well as my patience growing (or should I say, being stretched??)
It's hard to believe that we are still pregnant... our last five children have all been born before this point, and yet this little guy has still not made an appearance. Our check up with the OB yesterday had us tenatively scheduled for a c-section this morning, however, the amniocentesis came back unfavorable. It appears that his lungs are simply not ready for birth yet. I'm not sure who was more surprised, the doctor, Daddy, or me! So, we wait... and continue to wait...
I've never been accused of having patience be one of my best virtues, and it seems the Lord has seen fit to use this as yet another means of stretching me and growing me in that area.
That and putting stretch marks on my stretch marks! Wow, my belly is huge... my baby is huge - by ultrasound, he is measuring weeks ahead of dates, and at this rate, he's easily going to be our biggest baby yet by the time that he finally, FINALLY makes his appearance. Whenever that may finally be.
