Not much has been going here on the home front. Stephen is off from the hospital this week; it almost feels like our old marriage having him home every night. It's been really nice. ;o) No news yet on the 1st shift position he's applied for. Oh yeah, he and his brother worked on the house some today...got quite a bit done too! I had to remind Stephen that when we started this 'lil project early this year he promised me it would be done by the end of the year. He gingerly replied "I don't think that's gonna happen." *eye roll* So I will happily continue to nag him. Hey what are wives for, right?
I've had some good days here lately. Not much sadness, though I still have BOTB. We're going to wait until October to TTC again, when we go to Aruba. Per my counter, we leave in just under 8 weeks. I'm counting down for both reasons but as it is when you're looking forward to something the time just seems to be dragging by. *sigh*
Speaking of October, Megan only has about 10weeks left. It's hard to believe. Her belly is just sitting right out there, though I know it will continue to grow even more as these last few weeks tick by. (Sorry, Meg) Her family is throwing her a baby shower in a couple of weeks. I'm excited about my gift. I've put a lot of thought into it...I like unique gifts that (I hope) no one else thinks of. With this, I wanted something from her registry but felt that it was a little too generic for the BF. So I hope she likes the compromise I have invented.
This morning, I was making my usual rounds in the silver bullet (the nickname the girls gave my car; I pick them up every morning to take the from the parking lot in BFE to the office) but for some odd reason everyone decided to pile into the car for one trip rather than the usual two. Mind you, I drive a Toyota Matrix...not the biggest car on the road!~plus I'm 5'8" so I have to sit with my seat pretty far back. Anyway, K was in the front with me, and R, K and C were in the back. Guess who drew the short straw and had to sit on laps in the back seat? That's right, Preggers. So here comes the pregnant lady waddling (yes, Meg, you waddle. Sorry) around to the back and somehow maneuvering her short (only 5 feet) pregnant self onto the laps of the 3 ladies in the backseat. As she was lying there I wickedly tapped the brakes a couple of times (yes, it amused me!). Someone made the comment about her giving birth or her water breaking while she was back there. NUH UH!! I said "I don't think so! I have cloth seats!" Love ya Meg, but that would be hellacious to clean.
Yesterday as I was walking to grab a patient, M (the woman who recently lost her granddaughter Eleanor) told me that she had something she wanted to talk to me about. She came around the desk and I jokingly asked if I was in trouble. Once we were somewhat secluded, she told me that I have been on her mind lately. That the Lord told her that he wanted her to pray over my stomach with anointing oil. She said that she asked if He was sure, apparently He was. I think that is one of the nicest, most thoughtful things anyone has ever said to me. Of course I said that I would be honored. So this afternoon, in-between patients we went to one of my empty rooms for the prayer. It's funny that this happened; that she came to me yesterday. It's funny because I saw something Sunday that said "having faith isn't believing in what He has done; it's believing in what He will do."
