Waiting game!

So...still no baby Blackley, but I decided to post anyway. I felt like I needed to reconcile after last week's post. I was rather miserable and let it show. This week has been much better, physically and, for the most part, emotionally. This week I only worked 3 days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It was a huge blessing and made work, and my days off, much more enjoyable. I love my job and would love to be able to work 5 days a week still, but cutting back a little was the best decision ever.

We had another appointment Thursday, and another high blood pressure...joy! Dr. Adam said I could just go home and lay down, but she preferred that I went to the hosptial and do another non-stress test. I informed her that it was the doctor's office that brought on the elevation...she laughed and then said that seriously it could be. Of course, my blood pressure was fine the whole time we were at the hospital...and thankfully we didn't have to wait for a room this time. Dr. Adam also informed me after her "little inspection" that I am not dilated at all! Slightly discouraging news, especially since Tarryn Lindeman (who shared my due date) had her baby the morning of our doctors visit. Needless to say I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that I will probably make it to October 10th...and quite possibly beyond.

Poor Jason is suffering in his own way...he is an incredibly light sleeper (something he must soon get over) and so every move I make wakes him up. I found him this morning sprawled out on our fouton. He tries not to complain too much, mostly for his saftey.

We anxiously await the arrival of baby Blackley, but moreover we await God's perfect timing...realizing that it is not ultimately the birthday of this child that matters. Rather, the eternal impact that this child can make in this world. By the grace of God, I can't wait to assault this world with our children!
